The logic used here is the sum of positional values of all letters multiplied by the number of letters in the word. PATNA = 16 + 1 + 20 + 14 + 1 = 52 Now 52 x 5 =260 GOA = 7 + 15 + 1 = 23 Now, 23 x 3 = 69 |
Thus, the code for the word RANCHI will be: RANCHI= 18 + 1 + 14 + 3 + 8 + 9 = 53 Now 53 x 6 = 318 Hence, the correct answer is 318. |
