In a certain code language, ‘PAINT’ is written as ‘80’, and ‘DROP’ is written as ‘59’. How will ‘MARKET’ be written in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 100.
Logic: Opposite positional value of all the letters and no of letters in a word
P ⇔ K = 11, A ⇔ Z = 26, I ⇔ R = 18, N ⇔ M = 13, T⇔ G = 7
PAINT = 11 + 26 + 18 + 13 + 7 = 75, Number of letters in the word PAINT = 5
PAINT = 75 + 5 = 80
Similarly; M ⇔ N = 14, A ⇔ Z = 26, R ⇔ I = 9, K ⇔ P = 16, E ⇔ V = 22, T ⇔ G = 7
MARKET = 14 + 26 + 9 + 16 + 22 + 7 = 94, Number of letters in the word MARKET = 6
MARKET = 94 + 6 = 100
