In a certain code language, 'RAGE' is coded as '76' and 'POINT' is coded as '60'. How will 'TAIL' be coded in that code language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Correct Answer: Option 2 (65)
Logic & Pattern:
The code is calculated by taking the sum of the reverse alphabetical positions of the letters (where Z = 1, Y = 2, ..., A = 26) and then subtracting 1.
Calculation for TAIL:
-
T (Reverse position) = 7
-
A (Reverse position) = 26
-
I (Reverse position) = 18
-
L (Reverse position) = 15
-
Sum of reverse positions: 7 + 26 + 18 + 15 = 66
-
Final Subtraction: 66 - 1 = 65
