In a certain code language, 'CHALK' is coded as 6-16-2-24-22, and 'BOARD' is coded as 4-30-2-36-8. How will 'PAPER' be coded in the same language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 32-2-32-10-36.

C = 3; 3 × 2 = 6, H = 8; 8 × 2 = 16, A = 1; 1 × 2 = 2, L = 12; 12 × 2 = 24, K = 11; 11 × 2 = 22

Similarly; P = 16; 16 × 2 = 32, A = 1; 1 × 2 = 2, P = 16; 16 × 2 = 32, E = 5; 5 × 2 = 10, R = 18; 18 × 2 = 36
