In a certain code language, ‘HONOR’ is coded as 16-30-28-30-36 and ‘PLEAD’ is coded as 32-24-10-2-8. How will ‘LOCK’ be coded in the same language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e.24-30-6-22.
Logic: Letter's place value × 2 = Number
‘HONOR’ is coded as 16-30-28-30-36
H × 2 = 16; O × 2 = 30; N × 2 = 28; O × 2 = 30; R × 2 = 36
‘PLEAD’ is coded as 32-24-10-2-8
P × 2 = 32; L × 2 = 24; E × 2 = 10; A × 2 = 2; 4 × 2 = 8
Similarly, ‘LOCK’ will be coded:
L × 2 = 24; O × 2 = 30; C × 2 = 6; K × 2 = 22
