The letters from A to Z are numbered from 1 to 26 respectively. If GHI = 1578 and DEF = 912, then what is ABC equal to?
- A492
- B468
- C262
- D246Correct
Explanation
To find the logic, first identify the numerical position of each letter in the alphabet.
For GHI: G is 7, H is 8, and I is 9. If you arrange these digits as the number 789 and multiply by 2, you get 1578.
For DEF: D is 4, E is 5, and F is 6. If you arrange these digits as the number 456 and multiply by 2, you get 912.
Following this same pattern for ABC: A is 1, B is 2, and C is 3. Arrange these digits to get 123. Multiply 123 by 2, which equals 246.
Therefore, ABC is equal to 246. The correct option is D.
