In a certain code language, ‘LILY’ is coded as 116, and ‘LOTUS’ is coded as 174. How will ‘TULIP’ be coded in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 156.
The logic used here is:
‘LILY’ is coded as 116
LILY = 12 + 9 + 12 + 25 = 58 × 2 =116
'LOTUS’ is coded as 174
LOTUS = 12 + 15 + 20 + 21 + 19 = 87 × 2 = 174
Similarly,
Code for the word TULIP:
TULIP = 20 + 21 + 12 + 9 + 16 = 78 × 2 = 156
Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.
