In a certain code language, INHALE is coded as 110 and DELAY is coded as 86. How will IGNORE be coded in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 91.
The logic used here is:
INHALE is coded as 110
Opposite of I = R = 18
Opposite of N = M = 13
Opposite of H = S = 19
Opposite of A = Z = 26
Opposite of L = O = 15
Opposite of E = V = 22
INHALE = 18 + 13 + 19 + 26 + 15 + 22 = 113
No of vowels in the word INHALE = 3
Code for the word INHALE = 113 - 3 = 110
DELAY is coded as 86
Opposite of D = W = 23
Opposite of E = V = 22
Opposite of L = O = 15
Opposite of A = Z = 26
Opposite of Y = B = 2
DELAY = 23 + 22 + 15 + 26 + 2 = 88
No of vowels in the word DELAY = 2
Code for the word DELAY = 88 - 2 = 86
Similarly;
Code for the word IGNORE:
Opposite of I = R = 18
Opposite of G = T = 20
Opposite of N = M = 13
Opposite of O = L = 12
Opposite of R = I = 9
Opposite of E = V = 22
IGNORE = 18 + 20 + 13 + 12 + 9 + 22 = 94
No of vowels in the word IGNORE = 3
Code for the word IGNORE = 94 - 3 = 91
Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.
