In a certain code language, 'HEAD' is coded as '88', 'REAR' is coded as '64'. How will 'FRONT' be coded in that code language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Similarly,
H = 19 (opposite)
E = 22
A = 26
D = 23
Sum:
(19 + 22 + 26 + 23) - 2 = 90 - 2
88
And
For 'REAR' = 64:
R = 9 (opposite)
E = 22
A = 26
R = 9
(9 + 22 + 26 + 9) - 2 = 66 - 2 = 64
Conclusion: Code = (Sum of opposite values of letters) - 2
Similarly,
FRONT
Opposite value of F (27 - 6) = 21
Opposite value of R (27 - 18) = 9
Opposite value of O (27 - 15) = 12
Opposite value of N (27 - 14) = 13
Opposite value of T (27 - 20) = 7
(21+9+12+13+7)-2=62-2=60
Therefore, 'FRONT' will be written as 60.
