In a certain code language, ‘BOSE’ is coded as ‘4303810’, and ‘SPY’ is coded as ‘383250’. How will ‘URANUS’ be coded in that language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3, i.e., 42362284238.

Logic: The code is multiplied by 2 in every place value of letters  

'BOSE’ is coded as ‘4303810’

B ⇔ 2 × 2 = 4, O ⇔ 15 × 2 = 30, S ⇔ 19 × 2 = 38, E ⇔ 5 × 2 = 10

‘SPY’ is coded as ‘383250’

S ⇔ 19 × 2 = 38, P ⇔ 16 × 2 = 32, Y ⇔ 25 × 2 = 50

Similarly,  ‘URANUS’ is coded as '42362284238'

U ⇔ 21 × 2 = 42, R ⇔ 18 × 2 = 36, A ⇔ 1 × 2 = 2, N ⇔ 14 × 2 = 28, U ⇔ 21 × 2 = 42,

S ⇔ 19 × 2 = 38
