In a certain code language, ‘FOX’ is coded as ‘14’ and ‘GOAT’ is coded as ‘21’. How will ‘TOMMY’ be coded in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 30.
Logic: (Number of letters)2 + 5 = Code.
‘FOX’ is coded as ‘14’
= (3)2 + 5 = 9 + 5 = 14
And, ‘GOAT’ is coded as ‘21’
= (4)2 + 5 = 16 + 5 = 21
Similarly, ‘TOMMY’ be coded as
= (5)2 + 5 = 25 + 5 = 30
