If in the coding system, FIXED is coded as 86 and COMPANY is coded as 101, then how will INTERIM be coded in the same coding system?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 100.
The logic used here is:
FIXED is coded as 86
Opposite of F = U = 21
Opposite of I = R = 18
Opposite of X = C = 3
Opposite of E = V = 22
Opposite of D = W = 23
FIXED = 21 + 18 + 3 + 22 + 23 = 87 - 1 = 86
Similarly,
Code for the word INTERIM:
Opposite of I = R = 18
Opposite of N = M = 13
Opposite of T = G = 7
Opposite of E = V = 22
Opposite of R = I = 9
Opposite of I = R = 18
Opposite of M = N = 14
INTERIM = 18 + 13 + 7 + 22 + 18 + 18 + 14 = 101 - 1 = 100
Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
