In a certain code language, ‘HIT’ is coded as ‘132’ and ‘SBYZ’ is coded as ‘144’. How will ‘YRF’ be coded in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 96.
Logic: Sum of opposite letter place value × Number of letters in the word = Code
‘HIT’ is coded as ‘132’ → (19 + 18 + 7) × 3 = 44 × 3 = 132
‘SBYZ’ is coded as ‘144’ → (8 + 25 + 2 + 1) × 4 = 36 × 4 = 144
Similarly, ‘YRF’ will be coded → (2 + 9 + 21) × 3 = 32 × 3 = 96
