Solution: KNOWLEDGE Letter Position Sum
This question requires finding the sum of the reverse alphabetical positions for the first and last letters of the word "KNOWLEDGE", using the code where Z=1, Y=2, ..., A=26.
Understanding the Reverse Code
The reverse code assigns numbers to letters starting from Z as 1. The formula to find the reverse position of a letter is: $ \text{Reverse Position} = 27 - (\text{Standard Position}) $ where the Standard Position is the letter's normal position in the alphabet (A=1, B=2, ...).
Identifying Key Letters
The word is "KNOWLEDGE".
- The first letter is 'K'.
- The last letter is 'E'.
Calculating Reverse Positions
First, find the standard positions:
- 'K' is the 11th letter of the alphabet.
- 'E' is the 5th letter of the alphabet.
Now, apply the reverse position formula:
- Reverse position of 'K': $ 27 - 11 = 16 $
- Reverse position of 'E': $ 27 - 5 = 22 $
Summing the Reverse Positions
Add the calculated reverse positions:
$ \text{Sum} = (\text{Reverse Position of K}) + (\text{Reverse Position of E}) $ $ \text{Sum} = 16 + 22 $ $ \text{Sum} = 38 $The sum of the reverse positions of the first and last letters of "KNOWLEDGE" is 38.

A word is represented by only one set of numbers as given in any one of the alternatives. The sets of numbers given in the alternatives are represented by two classes of alphabets as shown in the given two matrices. The columns and rows of Matrix-I are numbered from 0 to 4 and that of Matrix-II are numbered from 5 to 9. A letter from these matrices can be represented by its row and next by its column, for example, 'Z' can be represented by 87, 29, etc., and 'T' can be represented by 96, 95, etc. Similarly, you have to identify the set for the word "MAZE".
