In a certain code language, 'FROG' is coded as 92, and 'DUCK' is coded as 78. How will 'BEAR' be coded in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 52.
'FROG' is coded as 92 → F = 6, R = 18, O = 15, G = 7; (6 + 18 + 15 + 7) × 2
'DUCK' is coded as 78 → D = 4, U = 21, C = 3, K = 11; (4 + 21 + 3 + 11) × 2 = 78
Similarly, 'BEAR' will be coded as → B = 2, E = 5, A = 1, R = 18; (2 + 5 + 1 + 18) × 2 = 52
