In a certain code language, ‘HEN’ is coded as ‘9’ and ‘AFTER’ is coded as ‘25’. How will ‘SMALLEST’ be coded in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 64.
The logic is used here: (Number of letters in the word)2 = Number
‘HEN’ = ‘9’
Number of letters in 'HEN' = 3 ⇒ (3)2 = 9
‘AFTER’ = ‘25’
Number of letters in 'AFTER' = 5 ⇒ (5)2 = 25
Similarly, ‘SMALLEST’ = Number of letters in ‘SMALLEST’ = 8 ⇒ (8)2 = 64
