In a certain code language, 'GUD' is written as '31', 'PUH' is written as '44'. What is the code for 'FAR' in that code language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 24

Understanding Application

Code = (Sum of numerical position values) – 1

‘GUD’ is written as ‘31’

(7 + 21 + 4) – 1 = 31

And

‘PUH’ is written as ‘44’

(16 + 21 + 8) – 1 = 44

Now, ‘FAR’:

Code

= (6 + 1 + 18) – 1

= 25 – 1

= 24
