In a certain code language, 'FIRE' is coded as 38 and 'WATER' is coded as 67. How will 'FOREST' be coded in the same language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 83.
'FIRE' is coded as 38 → F = 6, I = 9, R = 18, E = 5; 6 + 9 + 18 + 5 = 38
'WATER' is coded as 67 → W = 23, A = 1, T = 20, E = 5, R = 18; 23 + 1 + 20 + 5 + 18 = 67
Similarly, 'FOREST' is coded as → F = 6, O = 15, R = 18, E = 5, S = 19, T = 20; 6 + 15 + 18 + 5 + 19 + 20 = 83
