In a certain code language, ‘MARINE’ is coded as ‘100’, and ‘NORMAL’ is coded as ‘126’. How will ‘REALM’ be coded in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 78.
The logic used here is:
‘MARINE’ is coded as ‘100’
MARINE = 13 + 1 + 18 + 9 + 14 + 5 = 60
Code = 60 - 10 = 50 = 50 × 2 = 100
‘NORMAL’ is coded as ‘126’
NORMAL = 14 + 15 + 18 + 13 + 1 + 12 = 73
Code = 73 - 10 = 63 × 2 = 126
Similarly;
Code for the word REALM:
REALM = 18 + 5 + 1 + 12 + 13 = 49
Code = 49 - 10 = 39 × 2 = 78
Hence, 78 is the correct answer.
