In a certain code language, 'BEAR' is written as ‘52’ and 'SINK' is written as ‘106’. How will ‘TOYS' be written in that language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1, i.e., 158.

Logic: Add the place value of all ×  2 = Code number

'BEAR' is written as ‘52’

B ⇔ 2, E ⇔ 5, A ⇔ 2, R ⇔ 18

2 + 5 + 1 + 18 = 26 ×  2 = 52

'SINK' is written as ‘106’

S ⇔ 19, I ⇔ 9, N ⇔ 14, K ⇔ 11

19 + 9 + 14 + 11 = 53 × 2 = 106

Similarly, ‘TOYS' is written as '158'

T ⇔ 20, O ⇔ 15, Y ⇔ 25,S ⇔ 19

20 + 15 + 25 + 19 = 79 × 2 = 158
