In a certain code language, ‘CAN’ is written as ‘63’, and ‘TWO’ is written as ‘23’. How will ‘USE’ be written in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4, i.e., 36.
Logic: The words are coded as the sum of the letter's opposite positional values.
'CAN' is written as '63'
C ⇔ X ⇔ 24, A ⇔ Z ⇔ 26, N ⇔ M ⇔ 13
24 + 26 + 13 = 63
'TWO' is written as '23'
T ⇔ G ⇔ 7, W ⇔ D ⇔ 4, O ⇔ L ⇔ 12
7 + 4 + 12 = 23
Similarly, ‘USE’ is written as ‘36’
U ⇔ F ⇔ 6, S ⇔ H ⇔ 8, E ⇔ V ⇔ 22
6 + 8 + 22 = 36
