In a certain code language, 'HEIGHT' is coded as '103' and 'ALLOW' is coded as '70'. How will 'FAME' be coded in that code language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Just as:
HEIGHT : 103
The opposite of H is S (19)
The opposite of E is V (22)
The opposite of I is R (18)
The opposite of G is T (20)
The opposite of H is S (19)
The opposite of T is G (07)
Sum: 19 + 22 + 18 + 20 + 19 + 07 = 105
105 - 2 = 103
And:
ALLOW : 70
The opposite of A is Z (26)
The opposite of L is O (15)
The opposite of L is O (15)
The opposite of O is L (12)
The opposite of W is D (04)
Sum: 26 + 15 + 15 + 12 + 04 = 72
72 - 2 = 70
Similarly:
FAME : ?
The opposite of F is U = 21
The opposite of A is Z = 26
The opposite of M is N = 14
The opposite of E is V = 22
Total Sum: 21 + 26 + 14 + 22 = 83
83 - 2 = 81
Correct Answer = 81
