In a certain code language, ‘BOOK’ is written as ‘325’, ‘READ’ is written as ‘400’. How will ‘ABLE’ be written in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 440.
Logic: Sum of opposite letter place value × 5
‘BOOK’ is written as ‘325’
BOOK = (25 + 12 + 12 + 16) × 5 = 65 × 5 = 325
‘READ’ is written as ‘400’
READ = (9 + 22 + 26 + 23) × 5 = 80 × 5 = 400
Similarly; Code for the word ABLE:
READ = (26 + 25 + 15 + 22) × 5 = 88 × 5 = 440
