In a certain code language, 'HUT’ is coded as '55', and 'MAT' is coded as '40'. How will 'BIB' be coded in that language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option  1 i.e. 19.

The logic used here is:

'HUT’ is coded as '55'

HUT = 8 + 21 + 20 = 49

HUT = 49 + 6 = 55

'MAT' is coded as '40'

MAT = 13 + 1 + 20 = 34

MAT = 34 + 6 = 40

Similarly;

Code for the word BIB:

BIB = 2 + 9 + 2 = 13

BIB = 13 + 6 = 19

Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
