In a certain code language, 'BAT' is coded as 46, and 'LIMP' is coded as 100. How will 'HONOUR' be coded in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2, i.e., 182.
'BAT' is coded as 46
B ⇔ 2, A ⇔ 1, T ⇔ 20
2 + 1 + 20 = 23, 23 × 2 = 46
'LIMP' is coded as 100
L ⇔ 12, I ⇔ 9, M ⇔ 13, P ⇔ 16
12 + 9 + 13 + 16 = 50, 50 × 2 = 100
Similarly, 'HONOUR' is coded as 182
H ⇔ 8, O ⇔ 15, N ⇔ 14, O ⇔ 15, U ⇔ 21, R ⇔ 18
8 + 15 + 14 + 15 + 21 + 18 = 91 × 2 = 182
