In a certain code language, ‘REJECT’ is coded as ‘57’. How will ‘POISON’ be coded in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 85
The logic used here is:
‘REJECT’ is coded as ‘57’
REJECT = 18 + 5 + 10 + 5 + 3 + 20 = 61 - Number of consonants = 61 - 4 = 57
Similarly,
Code for the word POISON:
POISON = 16 + 15 + 9 + 19 + 15 + 14 = 88 - Number of consonants = 88 - 3 = 85
Hence, 85 is the correct answer.
