In a certain code language, 'CHIEF' is coded as '28' and 'COURT' is coded as '74'. How will 'REPLY' be coded in that code language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Just as:
CHIEF
C(3) + H(8) + I(9) + E(5) + F(6) = 31
Now, 31 → 28 ⇒ -3
And:
COURT
C(3) + O(15) + U(21) + R(18) + T(20) = 77
77 → 74 ⇒ -3
Similarly:
REPLY
R(18) + E(5) + P(16) + L(12) + Y(25)
= 18 + 5 + 16 + 12 + 25 = 76
76 − 3 = 73
Correct Answer: 73
