In a certain code language, ‘CITY’ is coded as 228 and ‘CRY’ is coded as 138. How will ‘BOLD’ be coded in the same language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 132.
Logic: Sum of place value × number of letters
‘CITY’ is coded as 228 → (3 + 9 + 20 + 25) × 4 = 57 × 4 = 228
'CRY' is coded as 138 → (3 + 18 + 25) × 3 = 46 × 3 = 138
Similarly, 'BOLD' will be coded → (2+ 15 + 12 + 4) × 4 = 33 × 4 = 132
