In a certain code language, ‘FLBS’ is coded as ‘156’ and ‘MXT’ is coded as ‘228’. How will ‘VDZN’ be coded in the same language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 264.
Logic: Sum of place value of letters × 4 = Number code.
‘FLBS’ is coded as ‘156’ → (6 + 12 + 2 + 19) × 4 = 39 × 4 = 156
‘MXT’ is coded as ‘228’ → (13 + 24 + 20) × 4 = 57 × 4 = 228
Similarly, ‘VDZN’ will be coded: → (22 + 4 + 26 + 14) × 4 = 66 × 4 = 264
