In a certain code language, 'CROW' is coded as 177, and 'EAGLE' is coded as 90. How will 'DOVE' be coded in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3, i.e., 138.
Logic: Summing the numerical place values of its letters and multiplying the sum by 3
'CROW' is coded as 177
C ⇔ 3, R ⇔ 18, O ⇔ 15, W ⇔ 23
3 + 18 + 15 + 23 = 59 x 3 = 177
'EAGLE' is coded as 90
E ⇔ 5, A ⇔ 1, G ⇔ 7, L ⇔ 12, E ⇔ 5
5 + 1 + 7 + 12 + 5 = 30 x 3 = 90
Similarly, 'DOVE' is coded as 138
D ⇔ 4, O ⇔ 15, V ⇔ 22, E ⇔ 5
4 + 15 + 22 + 5 = 46 x 3 = 138
