In a certain code language, 'KEPT' is coded as '52', 'LACK' is coded as '27'. What is the code for 'LINE' in that code language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 40.
Logic: Add positional value of all alphabets.
'KEPT' is coded as '52', 'LACK'
| K | E | P | T |
| 11 | 5 | 16 | 20 |
11 + 5 + 16 + 20 = 52
'LACK' is coded as '27'
| L | A | C | K |
| 12 | A | 3 | 11 |
12 + 1 + 3 + 11 = 27
Similarly, 'LINE' is coded as '40'.
| L | I | N | E |
| 12 | 9 | 14 | 5 |
12 + 9 + 14 + 11 = 40
