Step 1: Analyze the transformation from "FIVE" to "12184410"
Each letter in "FIVE" corresponds to two digits in the code "12184410." We will deduce the pattern for each letter.
1) F → 12:
o "F" is the 6th letter in the alphabet. Multiply by 2 → 6 X 2=12.
2) I → 18:
o "I" is the 9th letter in the alphabet. Multiply by 2 → 9 X 2=18
3) V → 44:
o "V" is the 22nd letter in the alphabet. Multiply by 2 → 22 X 2=44
4) E → 10:
o "E" is the 5th letter in the alphabet. Multiply by 2 → 5 X 2=10
Step 2: Analyze the transformation from "FOUR" to "12304236"
Similarly, analyze "FOUR" and its code "12304236":
1) F → 12:
o "F" is the 6th letter. Multiply by 2 → 6 X 2=12
2) O → 30:
o "O" is the 15th letter. Multiply by 2 → 15 X 2=30
3) U → 42:
o "U" is the 21st letter. Multiply by 2 → 21 X 2=42
4) R → 36:
o "R" is the 18th letter. Multiply by 2 → 18 X 2=36
Step 3: Apply the pattern to "THREE"
Using the same pattern, calculate the code for each letter in "THREE":
1) T → 40:
o "T" is the 20th letter. Multiply by 2 → 20 X 2=40
2) H → 16:
o "H" is the 8th letter. Multiply by 2 → 8 X 2=16
3) R → 36:
o "R" is the 18th letter. Multiply by 2 → 18 X 2=36
4) E → 10:
o "E" is the 5th letter. Multiply by 2 → 5 X 2=10
5) E → 10:
o "E" is the 5th letter. Multiply by 2 → 5 X 2=10
Step 4: Combine the results
The code for "THREE" is 4016361010.
Option (d) is the correct answer.
