In a certain code language, ‘ENOUGH’ is written as ‘64’ and ‘PAIR’ is written as ‘40’.How will ‘FOCUS’ be written in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 59.
Logic: Sum of positional values of all the letters - Number of letters in the word
ENOUGH → E(5) + N(14) + O(15) + U(21) + G(7) + H(8) = 70 - 6 = 64
PAIR → P(16) + A(1) + I(9) + R(18) = 44 - 4 = 40
Similarly, FOCUS → F(6) + O(15) + C(3) + U(21) + S(19) = 64 - 5 = 59
