If "ARMY" is coded as 2-20-16-29 in certain code language, then the word "BATTER" will be coded in the same language as

  • A.3-3-23-23-9-21
  • B.3-3-24-23-9-21
  • C.3-3-23-24-10-24
  • D.3-3-24-24-10-24

Answer: C

BATTER is coded 3-3-23-24-10-24.

In ARMY each letter's position in the alphabet is increased by its place in the word: A (1) + 1 = 2, R (18) + 2 = 20, M (13) + 3 = 16, Y (25) + 4 = 29.

Applying the same rule to BATTER:

\[ \begin{aligned} &B\ 2 + 1 = 3,\ A\ 1 + 2 = 3 \\ &T\ 20 + 3 = 23,\ T\ 20 + 4 = 24 \\ &E\ 5 + 5 = 10,\ R\ 18 + 6 = 24 \end{aligned} \]

The other options repeat 23 or 24 for both Ts, or add the wrong amounts to E and R.
