In a certain code language, 'QUITE' is coded as '216', and 'PROVE' is coded as '228'. What is the code for 'EXIST' in that code language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 231.
The logic used here is: Add the place value of letters and then multiply by 3.
'QUITE' is coded as '216'
QUITE = 17 + 21 + 9 + 20 + 5 = 72
Code = 72 × 3 = 216
'PROVE' is coded as '228'
PROVE = 16 + 18 + 15 + 22 + 5 =76
Code = 76 × 3 = 228
Similarly;
Code for the word EXIST:
EXIST = 5 + 24 + 9 + 19 + 20 = 77
Code = 77 × 3 = 231
Hence, the correct answer is 231.
