In a certain code language, 'POTATO' is coded as 32-30-40-2-40-30 and 'TURNIP' is coded as 40-42-36-28-18-32. How will 'RADISH' be coded in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 36-2-8-38-16
The logic used here is:
'POTATO' is coded as 32-30-40-2-40-30
P = 16 × 2 = 32
O = 15 × 2 = 30
T = 20 × 2 = 40
A = 1 × 2 = 2
T = 20 × 2 = 40
O = 15 × 2 = 30
Similarly;
Code for the word RADISH:
R = 18 × 2 = 36
A = 1 × 2 = 2
D = 4 × 2 = 8
I = 9 × 2 = 18
S = 19 × 2 = 38
H = 8 × 2 = 16
Hence, 36-2-8-38-16 is the correct answer.
