In a certain code language, "LAMP" is written as "66" and "OATS" is written as "53". How will "YESS" be written in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 40.
The logic used here is:
"LAMP" is written as "66"
Opposite of L = O = 15
Opposite of A = Z = 26
Opposite of M = N = 14
Opposite of P = K = 11
LAMP = 15 + 26 + 14 + 11 = 66
"OATS" is written as "53"
Opposite of O = L = 12
Opposite of A = Z = 26
Opposite of T = G = 7
Opposite of S = H = 8
LAMP = 12 + 26 + 7 + 8 = 53
Similarly;
Code for the word YESS:
Opposite of Y = B = 2
Opposite of E = V = 22
Opposite of S = H = 8
Opposite of S = H = 8
LAMP = 2 + 22 + 8 + 8 = 40
Hence, 40 is the correct answer.
