In a certain code language, 'RAHUL' is coded as 180, and 'POOJA' is coded as 171. How will 'RAJIV' be coded in the same language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 180.

The logic used here is:

'RAHUL' is coded as 180 

RAHUL = 18 + 1 + 8 + 21 + 12 = 60 × 3 =180

'POOJA' is coded as 171

POOJA = 16 + 15 + 15 + 10 + 1 = 57 × 3 = 171

Similarly;

Code for the word RAJIV:

RAJIV = 18 + 1 + 10 + 9 + 22 = 60 × 3 = 180

Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.
