In a certain code language, 'HEG' is coded as '840', 'JFD' is coded as '720'. What is the code for 'JDK' in that code language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 1320.
The logic followed is:
Logic: (Product of the positional value of the letters) × 3 = Code
‘HEG' is coded as '840’
⇒ H(8) × E(5) × G(7)
⇒ (8 × 5 × 7) × 3
⇒ 280 × 3 = 840
For, ‘JFD' is coded as '720’
⇒ J(10) × F(6) × D(4)
⇒ (10 × 6 × 4) × 3
⇒ 240 × 3 = 720
In similar way, ‘JDK’ is coded as:
⇒ J(10) × D(4) × K(11)
⇒ (10 × 4 × 11) × 3
⇒ 440 × 3 = 1320
Thus, 'JDK' will be coded as '1320'.
Hence, the correct answer is 1320.
