In a certain code language, 'GOAT' is coded as '68', 'POLE' is coded as '63'. How will 'FAIL' be coded in that code language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Similarly,
GOAT (code = 68)
Opposite value of G: 20 (27 – 7)
Opposite value of O: 12 (27 – 15)
Opposite value of A: 26 (27 – 1)
Opposite value of T: 07 (27 – 20)
20 + 12 + 26 + 7 = 65
65 + 3 = 68
and
POLE (code = 63)
Opposite value of P: 11 (27 – 16)
Opposite value of O: 12 (27 – 15)
Opposite value of L: 15 (27 – 12)
Opposite value of E: 22 (27 – 5)
11 + 12 + 15 + 22 = 60
60 + 3 = 63
Similarly,
FAIL code:
Opposite value of F: 21 (27 – 6)
Opposite value of A: 26 (271)
Opposite value of I: 18 (27-9)
Opposite value of L: 15 (27-12)
21 + 26 + 18 + 15 = 80
80+3=83
