In a certain code language, REFUSAL is coded as 100, and SHORTEN is coded as 83. How will INERTIA be coded in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 106.
Logic: (Each letter is replaced with the opposite positional values) - (Subtract the number of letters in the word.)
REFUSAL = 9 + 22 + 21 + 6 + 8 + 26 + 1 = 107 - 7 = 100
Similarly, INERTIA = 18 + 13 + 22 + 9 + 7 + 18 + 26 = 113 - 7 = 106
