In a certain code language, MOSAIC is coded as 47-68 and USEFUL is coded as 45-42. How will FLYING be coded in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 43-51.
Logic: (sum of the positional value of the first 3 letters) - (sum of the positional value of opposite letters of the last 3 letters)
MOSAIC is coded as 47-68
(13 + 15 + 19) - (26 + 18 + 24) = 47-68
USEFUL is coded as 45-42
(21 + 19 + 5) - (21 + 6 + 15) = 45-42
Similarly, FLYING will be coded as:
(6 + 12 + 25) - (18 + 13 + 20) = 43-51
