In a certain code language, 'APPLE' is coded as 250 and 'BERRY' is coded as 340. How will 'LITCHI' be coded in the same language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 366.
Logic: Sum of the positional value × 5 = Code.'
APPLE' is coded as 250
= A(1) + P(16) + P(16) + L(12) + E(5) = 50 × 5 = 250
'BERRY' is coded as 340
= B(2) + E(5) + R(18) + R(18) + Y(25) = 68 × 5 = 340
Similarly, 'LITCHI' will be coded as,
= L(12) + I(9) + T(20) + C(3) + H(8) + I(9) = 61 × 6 = 366
Hence, the correct answer is 366.
