In a certain code language, ‘BREATHE’ is coded as 70 and ‘TRIUMPH’ is coded as 135. How will ‘TRAGEDY’ be coded in the same language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 86.
Logic: Sum of positional values of alphabets by multiplying vowels by 2
BREATHE = 2 + 18 + (5 × 2) + (1 × 2) + 20 + 8 + (5 × 2) = 70
TRIUMPH = 20 + 18 + (9 × 2) + (21 × 2) + 13 + 16 + 8 = 135
Similarly, TRAGEDY = 20 + 18 + (1 × 2) + 7 + (5 × 2) + 4 + 25 = 86
