In a certain code language, 'OFFER' is coded as '86' and 'LETTER' is coded as '83'. How will 'PASS' be coded in that code language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Just as:
Analysis of 'OFFER'
(Based on the reverse order of letters)
Reverse of O (L) = 12
Reverse of F (U) = 21
Reverse of F (U) = 21
Reverse of E (V) = 22
Reverse of R (I) = 9
Total Sum: 12 + 21 + 21 + 22 + 9 = 85
Sum: 85 + 1 = 86
And:
Analysis of 'LETTER'
(Applying the same logic to 'LETTER')
Reverse of L (O) = 15
Reverse of E (V) = 22
Reverse of T (G) = 7
Reverse of T (G) = 7
Reverse of E (V) = 22
Reverse of R (I) = 9
Total Sum: 15 + 22 + 7 + 7 + 22 + 9 = 82
Sum: 82 + 1 = 83
Similarly:
'PASS' : ?
(Applying the same logic to 'PASS')
Reverse of P (K) = 11
Reverse of A (Z) = 26
Reverse of S (H) = 8
Reverse of S (H) = 8
Total Sum: 11 + 26 + 8 + 8 = 53
Sum = 53 + 1 = 54
Correct Answer: Option (A) 54
