In a certain code language, 'BOOK' is coded as 172 and 'PAGES' is coded as 240. How will 'LIBRARY' be coded in the same language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 595.
Logic: (Sum of positional value of words) × No. of letters = Code
BOOK → (2 + 15 + 15 + 11) = 43 × 4 = 172
PAGES → (16 + 1 + 7 + 5 + 19) = 48 × 5 = 240
Similarly, LIBRARY → (12 + 9 + 2 + 18 + 1 + 18 + 25) = 85 × 7 = 595
