In a certain code language, ‘CENT’ is coded as ‘168’ and ‘TAPE’ is coded as ‘168’. How will ‘PEACE’ be coded in that code language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Just as

CENT

C = 3, E = 5, N = 14, T = 20

Sum = 3 + 5 + 14 + 20 = 42

Code = 42 × 4 = 168

And

TAPE

T = 20, A = 1, P = 16, E = 5

Sum = 20 + 1 + 16 + 5 = 42

Code = 42 × 4 = 168

Similarly,

PEACE

P = 16, E = 5, A = 1, C = 3, E = 5

Sum = 16 + 5 + 1 + 3 + 5 = 30

Code = 30 × 4 = 120
