Back to paper

In a certain code language, if BROTHER is coded as 14, and ACTIVE is coded as 12. How will CHOCOLATE be coded in that language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e.18.

The logic used here is:

BROTHER is coded as 14

Number of letters in the word BROTHER = 7

Code = 7 × 2 = 14

ACTIVE is coded as 12

Number of letters in the word ACTIVE = 6

Code = 6 × 2 = 12

Similarly;

Code for the word CHOCOLATE:

Number of letters in the word CHOCOLATE = 9

Code = 9 × 2 = 18

Hence, 18 is the correct answer.
