In a certain code language, 'CANDLE' is written as 13451214. How will 'LIGHT' be written in the same language? 

Last updated Jul 21, 2026
Correct Answer: Option B — 7891220
To find how LIGHT is written, look at the position of each letter in the alphabet and arrange them in ascending numerical order:

First, look at CANDLE:

C is the 3rd letter

A is the 1st letter

N is the 14th letter

D is the 4th letter

L is the 12th letter

E is the 5th letter

Arranging these alphabetical position numbers from smallest to largest gives: 1, 3, 4, 5, 12, 14.
Joining them together creates 13451214.

Now, apply the same steps to LIGHT:

L is the 12th letter

I is the 9th letter

G is the 7th letter

H is the 8th letter

T is the 20th letter

Arranging these position numbers from smallest to largest gives: 7, 8, 9, 12, 20.
Joining them together creates 7891220.

Therefore, the correct choice is B) 7891220.
