If FLOWER is coded as 14 and DISTASTE is coded as 18, then how will BUREAUCRAT be coded as?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 22

Understanding Application

Code = (Total no. of letters in the word + 1) × 2

FLOWER has 6 letters:

Code = (6 + 1) × 2 = 14

DISTASTE has 8 letters:

Code = (8 + 1) × 2 = 18

Similarly, BUREAUCRAT has 10 letters:

Code = (10 + 1) × 2 = 22
