In a certain code language, 'DEVINE' is written as '53' and 'HANG' is written as '26'. How will 'BLEND' be written in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 32.
Logic: Sum of the place value of letters - Number of letters in the word
'DEVINE' is written as '53'
(4 + 5 + 22 + 9 + 14 + 5) - 6 = 59 - 6 = 53
'HANG' is written as '26'
(8 + 1 + 14 + 7) - 4 = 30 - 4 = 26
Similarly, 'BLEND' will be written as:
(2 + 12 + 5 + 14 + 4) - 5 = 37 - 5 = 32
