The value of BAG – ADD + FIG in the given code is GFJ.
– The first ten letters of the English Alphabet (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J) are used in place of integers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 respectively.
– A=0, B=1, C=2, D=3, E=4, F=5, G=6, H=7, I=8, J=9.
– The question asks for the value of BAG – ADD + FIG. Assuming the letters represent digits in a number based on their position:
– BAG corresponds to the number formed by B(1), A(0), G(6), which is 106.
– ADD corresponds to the number formed by A(0), D(3), D(3), which is 033 or 33.
– FIG corresponds to the number formed by F(5), I(8), G(6), which is 586.
– Perform the calculation: 106 – 33 + 586.
– 106 – 33 = 73.
– 73 + 586 = 659.
– Now convert the result 659 back into letters using the given mapping:
– 6 corresponds to G.
– 5 corresponds to F.
– 9 corresponds to J.
– The resulting sequence of letters is GFJ.
This type of problem requires interpreting letters as numerical digits based on a defined code and then performing standard arithmetic operations. The result is then converted back into the letter code.
