If in a coding system, SUBSTANCE is coded as 101 an SUPREME is coded as 94, then how will PORTRAIT be coded in the same coding language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 114.
Logic: Sum of the positional value of all alphabets - 3
SUBSTANCE is coded as 101 → 19 + 21 + 2 + 19 + 20 + 1 + 14 + 3 + 5 = 104 - 3 = 101
SUPREME is coded as 94 → 19 + 21 + 16 + 18 + 5 + 13 + 5 = 97 - 3 = 94
Similarly, PORTRAIT is coded as → 16 + 15 + 18 + 20 + 18 + 1 + 9 + 20 = 117 - 3 = 114
