In a certain code language, 'HORSE' is coded as 75, and 'MOVE' is coded as 63. How will 'RACE' be coded in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 35.
HORSE = 8 + 15 + 18 + 19 + 5 = 65
The number of letters in the word HORSE = 5
Code = 65 + (5 × 2) = 65 + 10 = 75
Similarly; RACE = 18 + 1 + 3 + 5 = 27
The number of letters in the word RACE = 4
Code = 27 + (4 × 2) = 27 + 8 = 35
