In a certain code language 'GPZJ' is coded as '98' and 'OWRS' is coded as '66'. What is the code for 'VIXE' in the given language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 96.
Logic: (The sum of positional value of opposite letters) × 2
'GPZJ' is coded as '98'
G ⇔ T(20), P ⇔ K(11), Z ⇔ A(1), J ⇔ Q(17) → (20 + 11 + 1 + 17) × 2 = 49 × 2 = 98
'OWRS' is coded as '66'
O ⇔ L(12), W ⇔ D(4), R ⇔ I(9), S ⇔ H(8) → (12 + 4 + 9 + 8) × 2 = 33 × 2 = 66
Similarry, 'VIXE' is coded as 96
V ⇔ E(5), I ⇔ R(18), X ⇔ C(3), E ⇔ V(22) → (5 + 18 + 3 + 22) × 2 = 48 × 2 = 96
