In a certain code language, ‘GHOST’ is coded as 74 and ‘TRIBAL’ is coded as 68. How will ‘HORN’ be coded in the same language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 59.
Logic: Sum of place value of letters + No. of letters
‘GHOST’ is coded as 74
7 + 8 + 15 + 19 + 20 = 69 + 5 = 74
‘TRIBAL’ is coded as 68
20 + 18 + 9 + 2 + 1 + 12 = 62 + 6 = 68
Similarly, ‘HORN’ will be coded
8 + 15 + 18 + 14 = 55 + 4 = 59
