In a certain code language, ‘CONFUSED’ is coded as ‘7’ and ‘CHAIN’ is coded as ‘4’. How will ‘ADULTHOOD’ be coded in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 8.
Logic: Number of letters in the word - 1 = Number code.
‘CONFUSED’ is coded as ‘7’ → Number of letters = 8, then 8 - 1 = 7
‘CHAIN’ is coded as ‘4’ → Number of letters = 5, then 5 - 1 = 4
Similarly, ‘ADULTHOOD’ will be coded → Number of letters = 9, then 9 - 1 = 8
