In a certain code language, ‘FINGER’ is written as ‘31’ and ‘HOLIDAY’ is written as ‘24’. How will ‘WHOLE’ be written in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 23
Logic: (The sum of the positional value of the consonants) - (The sum of the positional value of the vowels)
‘FINGER’ is written as ‘31’
(6 + 14 + 7 + 18) - (9 + 5) → 45 - 14 = 31
‘HOLIDAY’ is written as ‘24’
(8 + 12 + 4 + 25) - (15 + 9 + 1) → 49 - 25 = 24
Similarly, ‘WHOLE’ is written as 23
(23 + 8 + 12) - (15 + 5) → 43 - 20 = 23
