In a certain code language, 'CUP' is coded as '45' and 'FIT' is coded as '50'. How will 'FUN' be coded in that language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1, i.e., 44.

Logic: The Sum of the opposite letters' place value of the alphabet + 4

'CUP' is coded as '45'

C ⇔ X ⇔ 24, U ⇔ F ⇔ 6, P ⇔ K ⇔ 11

24 + 6 + 11 = 41 + 4 = 45

'FIT' is coded as '50'

F ⇔  U ⇔ 21, I ⇔ R ⇔ 18, T ⇔ G ⇔ 7

21 + 18 + 7 = 46 + 4 = 50

Similarly, 'FUN' is coded as '44'

F ⇔ U ⇔ 21, U ⇔ F ⇔ 6, N ⇔ M ⇔ 13

21 + 6 + 13 = 40 + 4 = 44
