In a certain code language, REASON is coded as 51 and BAKE is coded as 47. How will MARRY be coded in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4. i.e. 35.
The logic used here is:
REASON is coded as 51
Opposite of R = I = 9
E = 5
A = 1
Opposite of S = H = 8
O = 15
Opposite of N = M = 13
REASON = 9 + 5 + 1 + 8 + 15 + 13 = 51
BAKE is coded as 47
Opposite of B = Y = 25
A = 1
Opposite of K = P = 16
E = 5
BAKE = 25 + 1 + 16 + 5 = 47
Similarly;
Code for the word MARRY:
Opposite of M = N = 14
A = 1
Opposite of R = I = 9
Opposite of R = I = 9
Opposite of Y = B = 2
MARRY = 14 + 1 + 9 + 9 + 2 = 35
Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.
