In a certain code language, ‘FICTION’ is coded as ‘C70’ and ‘DUSTILY’ is coded as ‘A106.’ How will ‘ENDGAME’ be coded in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. B44.
Logic: 1st letter -3; The sum of place value of letters of the word (Except 1st letter)
‘FICTION’ is coded as ‘C70’
F - 3 = C; ICTION → 9 + 3 + 20 + 9 + 15 + 14 = 60
‘DUSTILY’ is coded as ‘A106.’
D - 3 = A; USTILY → 21 + 19 + 20 + 9 + 12 + 25 = 106
Similarly, ‘ENDGAME’ be coded:
E - 3 = B; NDGAME → 14 + 4 + 7 + 1 + 13 + 5 = 44
