In a certain code language, 'CATHOLIC' is written as '79', 'AUDIENCE' is written as '70', how will 'ASSEMBLY' be written in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2, i.e., 104.
Logic: Add the place value of all letters + 8
'CATHOLIC' is written as '79'
C ⇔ 3, A ⇔ 1, T ⇔ 20, H ⇔ 8, O ⇔ 15, L ⇔ 12, I ⇔ 9, C ⇔ 3
3 + 1 + 20 + 8 + 15 + 12 + 9 + 3 = 71
The code is 71 + 8 = 79
'AUDIENCE' is written as '70'
A ⇔ 1, U ⇔ 21, D ⇔ 4, I ⇔ 9, E ⇔ 5, N ⇔ 14, C ⇔ 3, E ⇔ 5
1 + 21 + 4 + 15 + 9 + 14 + 3 + 5 = 62
The code is 62 + 8 = 70
Similarly, 'ASSEMBLY' is written as '104'
A ⇔ 1, S ⇔ 19, S ⇔ 19, E ⇔ 5, M ⇔ 13, B ⇔ 2, L ⇔ 12, Y ⇔ 25
1 + 19 + 19 + 5 + 13 + 2 + 12 + 25 = 96
The code is 96 + 8 = 104
