In a certain code language, 'FLOWER' is coded as '85', 'STARS' is coded as '82', and 'MOON' is coded as '61'. How will 'PACK' be coded in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 35.
Logic: Add the position value of each letter and then add the total number of letters
'FLOWER' - '85': 6 + 12 + 15 + 23 + 5 + 18 = 79 → 79 + 6 = 85
'STARS' - '82': 19 + 20 + 1 + 18 + 19 = 77 → 77 + 5 = 82
'MOON' - '61': 13 + 15 + 15 + 14 = 57 → 57 + 4 = 61
Similarly, 'PACK' is coded as ‛35‛: 16 + 1 + 3 + 11 = 31 → 31 + 4 = 35
