In a certain code language, 'INDULGE' is coded as '48', and 'PURGE' is coded as '24'. How will 'PUNY' be coded in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 15.
Logic: ( Number of letters in the word)2 - 1 = Code
'INDULGE' is coded as '48'
(7)2 = 49 - 1 = 48
'PURGE' is coded as '24'
(5)2 = 25 - 1 = 24
Similarly, 'PUNY' is coded 15.
(4)2 = 16 - 15.
