In a certain code language, ‘DOME’ is coded as ‘74’ and ‘PLACE’ is coded as ‘74’. How will ‘FLOOD’ be coded in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 104.
‘DOME’ is coded as ‘74’ → D = 4, O = 15, M = 13, E = 5; (4 + 15 + 13 + 5) × 2 = 74
‘PLACE’ is coded as ‘74' → P = 16, L = 12, A = 1, C = 3, E = 5; (16 + 12 + 1 + 3 + 5) × 2 = 74
Similarly, 'FLOOD' is coded as → F= 6, L = 12, O = 15, O = 15, D = 4; (6 + 12 + 15 + 15 + 4) × 2 = 104
