If BARBER is coded as 116 and GLINT is coded as 73, then how will LIZARD be coded as?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 92.
The alphabets from A to Z takes numerical position value from 1 to 26.
Reverse pair: two alphabets form reverse pair if the sum of their numerical position values is 27.
Here, the code is equal to the sum of numerical positional values of all the reverse alphabet of given alphabets.
Reverse pair combination for BARBER is YZIYVI
Now, Y + Z + I + Y + V + I = 25 + 26 + 9 + 25 + 22 + 9 = 116
Reverse pair combination for GLINT is TORMG
Now,
T + O + R + M + G = 20 + 15 + 18 + 13 + 7 = 73
Similarly,
The reverse pair combination for LIZARD is ORAZIW:
Now,
O + R + A + I + Z + W = 15 + 18 + 1 + 9 + 26 + 23 = 92
Hence, 92 is the correct answer.
