Question 3

Explanation

To solve this code, we need to find the pattern linking these letters to the names of numbers in the Indonesian language.

First Word Pattern Analysis

Given:

Observe the word $ABQBO$:

• Consists of 5 letters.
• The 2nd and 4th letters are the same (letter $B$).

Look for an Indonesian number name with a similar pattern (5 letters, 2nd and 4th letters are the same):

• $\text{TUJUH}$ (7) -> 5 letters, letter $U$ is at positions 2 and 4.

If we assume $ABQBO = \text{TUJUH}$, then its value is $7$. Letter mapping:

• $A = T$
• $B = U$
• $Q = J$
• $O = H$

Second Word Pattern Analysis

From the equation:

We look for the Indonesian number name for $3$, which is $\text{TIGA}$:

• Consists of 4 letters.
• First letter is $T$ (matches $A = T$).
• Last letter is $A$ (matches $H = A$).

Additional letter mapping from $APNH = \text{TIGA}$:

• $P = I$
• $N = G$
• $H = A$

Calculating the Question

Question:

1. Finding the Value of KBH

   • Pattern: $K - B - H$
   • Substitute known letters: $K - U - A$ (since $B = U$, $H = A$)
   • The 3-letter Indonesian number ending in "$\text{UA}$" is $\text{DUA}$ ($2$).
   • So, $KBH = 2$.

2. Finding the Value of SPTH

   • Pattern: $S - P - T - H$
   • Substitute known letters: $S - I - T - A$ (since $P = I$, $H = A$)
   • The 4-letter Indonesian number with the pattern "$\_ \ I \ \_ \ A$" is $\text{LIMA}$ ($5$).
   • So, $SPTH = 5$.

Final Result

Thus, the answer is $-3$.
