In a certain code language, 'PRANK' is coded as ‘120’, and 'CLEAR' is coded as '78'. How will 'TRUST' be coded in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2, i.e., 196.
Logic: Add all the place values of letters
'PRANK' is coded as ‘120’
P ⇔ 16, R ⇔ 18, A ⇔ 1, N ⇔ 14, K ⇔ 11
(16 + 18 + 1 + 14 + 11) × 2 = 120
'CLEAR' is coded as '78'
C ⇔ 3, L ⇔ 12, E ⇔ 5, A ⇔ 1, R ⇔ 18
(3 + 12 + 5 + 1 + 18) × 2 = 78
Similarly, 'TRUST' is coded as ‘196’
T ⇔ 20, R ⇔ 18, U ⇔ 21, S ⇔ 19, T ⇔ 20
(20 + 18 + 21 + 19 + 20) × 2 = 196
