Solution :
Let’s analyze the given codes to find a pattern:
- TDG is coded as 1680.
- BHI is coded as 432.
To find the code for KCE, let’s break down the pattern:
- T (20th letter) * D (4th letter) * G (7th letter) = 20 * 4 * 7 = 560 ->560 * 3 (Multiply by 3) = 1680
- B (2nd letter) * H (8th letter) * I (9th letter) = 2 * 8 * 9 = 144 ->44 * 3 (Multiply by 3) = 432
Now, let’s apply this to KCE:
- K (11th letter) * C (3rd letter) * E (5th letter) = 11 * 3 * 5 = 165
- Multiply by the constant factor: 165 * 3 = 495
Therefore, the code for KCE is 495.
