In a certain code language, ‘CROSS’ is written as ‘66’, and ‘CHART’ is written as ‘90’. How will ‘SYMBOL’ be written in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 82.
C ⇔ X = 24, R ⇔ I = 9, O ⇔ L = 12, S ⇔ H = 8, S ⇔ H = 8
CROSS = 24 + 9 + 12 + 8 + 8 = 61
Code for the word CROSS = 61 + Number of letters in the word CROSS = 61 + 5 = 66
Similarly, S ⇔ H = 8, Y ⇔ B = 2, M ⇔ N = 14, B ⇔ Y = 25, O ⇔ L = 12, L ⇔ O = 15
SYMBOL = 8 + 2 + 14 + 25 + 12 + 15 = 76
Code for the word SYMBOL = 76 + Number of letters in the word SYMBOL = 76 + 6 = 82
