In a certain code language, ‘MINT’ is coded as ‘224’ and‘FANCY’ is coded as ‘245’. How will ‘CONTOUR’ be coded in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 742.
The logic used here is:
‘MINT’ is coded as ‘224’ and‘FANCY’ is coded as ‘245’
MINT = (13 + 9 + 14 + 20) × 4 = 224
FANCY = (6 + 1 + 14 + 3 + 25) × 5 = 245
Similarly,
Code for the word CONTOUR:
CONTOUR = (3 + 15 + 14 + 20 + 15 + 21 + 18) × 7 = 742
Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.
