In a certain code language, ‘HUNTER’ is coded as 80 and ‘TRIAL’ is coded as 55. How will ‘BURNT’ be coded in the same language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 70.
Logic: Sum of positional value of letters - Number of letters in the word = Code
HUNTER’ is coded as 80 = (8 + 21 + 14 + 20 + 5 + 18) - 6 = 86 - 6 = 80
‘TRIAL’ is coded as 55 = (20 + 18 + 9 + 1 + 12) - 5 = 60 - 5 = 55
Similarly, 'BURNT' will be coded as = (2 + 21 + 18 + 14 + 20) - 5 = 75 - 5 = 70
