In a certain code language, ‘DUST’ is coded as 16, and ‘EARTH’ is coded as 25. How will ‘MAN’ be coded in the same language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 9.
The logic used here is:
‘DUST’ is coded as 16
Number of letters in the word DUST = 4; Code = 42 = 16
‘EARTH’ is coded as 25
Number of letters in the word EARTH = 5; Code = 52 = 25
Similarly, Code for the word MAN:
Number of letters in the word MAN = 3; Code = 32 = 9
