In a certain code language, 'FRY' is coded as '147', and 'CROP' is coded as '208'. How will 'MUSIC' be coded in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 325.
The logic used here is:
'FRY' is coded as '147'
FRY = 6 + 18 + 25 = 49 × Number of letters in the word = 49 × 3 = 147
'CROP' is coded as '208'
CROP = 3 + 18 + 15 + 16 = 52 × 4 = 208
Similarly,
Code for the word MUSIC:
MUSIC = 13 + 21 + 19 + 9 + 3 = 65 × 5 = 325
Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.
