In a certain code language, 'ACTOR' is written as '52' and 'PACK' is written as '27'. How will 'SEVEN' be written in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 60.
The logic followed is:
Logic: Sum of the place values of the letters in the word - Number of letters in that word.
'ACTOR' is written as '52'
So, 1 + 3 + 20 + 15 + 18 = 57
⇒ 57 - 5 (no. of letters in ACTOR) = 52
'PACK' is written as '27'
So, 16 + 1 + 3 + 11 = 31
⇒ 31 - 4 (no. of letters in PACK) = 27
'SEVEN' be written as:
So, 19 + 5 + 22 + 5 + 14 = 65
⇒ 65 - 5 (no. of letters in SEVEN) = 60
Thus, 'SEVEN' will be written as 60.
Hence, 60 is the correct answer.
