In a certain code language, 'RAM' is written as '31', 'FAN' is written as '20'. What is the code for 'COR' in that code language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 35

Understanding Application

‘RAM’ is written as ‘31’,

R + A + M - 1

= 18 + 1 + 13 - 1

= 31

‘FAN’ is written as ‘20’

F + A + N - 1

= 6 + 1 + 14 - 1

= 20

Similarly for ’COR’:

C + O + R – 1

= 3 + 15 + 18 – 1

= 35

Hence, the correct answer is 35.
