In a certain code language, 'FIG' is coded as 12, and 'PLUM' is coded as 20. How will 'GRAPES' be coded in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 42.
Logic: Number of letters × number of letters + 1
code language, 'FIG' is coded as 12
FIG → Number of letters = 3, 3 × (3 +1) = 3 × 4 = 12
'PLUM' is coded as 20
PLUM → Number of letters = 4, 4 × (4 +1) = 4 × 5 = 20
Similarly, 'GRAPES' is coded as 42
GRAPES → Number of letters = 6, 6 × (6 +1) = 6 × 7 = 42
