In a certain code language, 'PEARL' is coded as '24153', 'EARTH' is coded as '41590' and 'PILE' is coded as '2634'. What is the code for the word 'HEAR' in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 0415.
The logic used here is:
'PEARL' is coded as '24153'
P = 2
E = 4
A = 1
R = 5
L = 3
'EARTH' is coded as '41590'
E = 4
A = 1
R = 5
T = 9
H = 0
'PILE' is coded as '2634'.
P = 2
I = 6
L = 3
E = 4
Similarly,
Code for the word HEAR:
H = 0
E = 4
A = 1
R = 5
Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.
