In a certain code language, ‘BHOPAL’ is coded as ‘6-24-45-48-3-36’, and ‘IMPHAL’ is coded as ‘27-39-48-24-3-36’. How will ‘KOHIMA’ be coded in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 33-45-24-27-39-3.
The logic used here is:
'BHOPAL’ is coded as ‘6-24-45-48-3-36’
B = 2 × 3 = 6
H = 8 × 3 = 24
O = 15 × 3 = 45
P = 16 × 3 = 48
A = 1 × 3 = 3
L = 12 × 3 = 36
Similarly;
Code for the word KOHIMA:
K = 11 × 3 = 33
O = 15 × 3 = 45
H = 8 × 3 = 24
I = 9 × 3 = 27
M = 13 × 3 = 39
A = 1 × 3 = 3
Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.
