In a certain code language, 'CAMERA' is written as '242', 'BROKEN' is written as '194',
how will 'CENTRE' be written in that language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4, i.e., 194.

Logic: The reverse positional values of letters = Code number

 'CAMERA' is written as '242'

C ⇔ X ⇔ 24, A ⇔ Z, ⇔ 26, M ⇔ N ⇔ 14, E ⇔ V, ⇔ 22, R ⇔ I ⇔ 9, A ⇔ Z ⇔ 26

24 + 26 + 14 + 22 + 9 + 26 = 121. 121 ×\times 2 = 242

'BROKEN' is written as '194',

B ⇔ Y ⇔ 25, R ⇔I ⇔ 9, O ⇔ L ⇔ 12, K ⇔ P ⇔ 16, E ⇔ V ⇔ 22, N ⇔ M ⇔ 13

 25 + 9 + 12 + 16 + 22 + 13 = 97. 97 ×\times 2 = 194.
Similarly,  'CENTRE' is written as 194

C ⇔ X ⇔ 24, E ⇔ V ⇔ 22, N ⇔ M ⇔ 13, T ⇔ G ⇔ 7, R ⇔ I ⇔ 9, E ⇔ V ⇔ 22

24 + 22 + 13 + 7 + 9 + 22 = 97. 97 ×\times 2 = 194.
