The code "165135" represents the word "peace" using alphabet positions (p=16, e=5, a=1, c=3, e=5). Using the same rule, which word is represented by "1215225"?

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: love

Explanation:

Introduction / Context:Many coding questions represent words by concatenating alphabet positions of letters. Here, "peace" -> 16 5 1 3 5 equals 165135 when concatenated. We must reverse the process.

Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Alphabet index: a=1, b=2, ..., z=26.
  • 165135 corresponds to p e a c e (16 5 1 3 5).
  • We must match 1215225 to a candidate word.

Concept / Approach:Try to parse 1215225 into valid 1–2 digit alphabet positions matching a common word from the options.

Step-by-Step Solution:Check "love": letters l o v e.l=12, o=15, v=22, e=5 -> concatenation 12 15 22 5 equals 1215225.Hence 1215225 corresponds to "love".

Verification / Alternative check:None of the other options map cleanly to 1215225 under simple concatenation of positions.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

  • lead: 12 5 1 4 -> 12514, not 1215225.
  • loop: 12 15 15 16 -> 12151516.
  • aura: 1 21 18 1 -> 12181.
  • None of these: Not applicable; "love" fits perfectly.

Common Pitfalls:Forgetting that letters beyond 9 use two digits, which affects segmentation.

Final Answer:love
