In a certain code language, 'BEST' is coded as '64' and 'TAPE' is coded as '68'. How will 'FILED' be coded in that code language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Just as:
BEST
B (2): 27 - 2 = 25
E (5): 27 - 5 = 22
S (19): 27 - 19 = 8
T (20): 27 - 20 = 7
Total Sum: 25 + 22 + 8 + 7 = 62
62 + 2 = 64
And:
TAPE
T (20): 27 - 20 = 7
A (1): 27 - 1 = 26
P (16): 27 - 16 = 11
E (5): 27 - 5 = 22
Total Sum: 7 + 26 + 11 + 22 = 66
66 + 2 = 68
Similarly:
FILED
F (6): 27 - 6 = 21
I (9): 27 - 9 = 18
L (12): 27 - 12 = 15
E (5): 27 - 5 = 22
D (4): 27 - 4 = 23
Total Sum: 21 + 18 + 15 + 22 + 23 = 99
99 + 2 = 101
Therefore, the correct option is B) 101.
