In a certain code language, ‘POEM’ is coded as ‘63’. How will ‘FILE’ be coded in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 80.
The logic used here is:
‘POEM’ is coded as ‘63’
Opposite of P = K = 11
Opposite of O = L = 12
Opposite of E = V = 22
Opposite of M = N = 14
POEM = 11 + 12 + 22 + 14 = 59 + Number of letters in the word = 59 + 4 = 63
Similarly,
Code for the word FILE:
Opposite of F = U = 21
Opposite of I = R = 18
Opposite of L = O = 15
Opposite of E = V = 22
FILE = 21 + 18 + 15 + 22 = 76 + Number of letters in the word = 76 + 4 = 80
Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.
