In a certain code language, ROSE is coded as 51 and WAX is coded as 33. How will
FOX be coded in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1, i.e., 36.
Logic: The words are coded as the sum of the letter's opposite positional values.
ROSE is coded as 51
R ⇔ I ⇔ 9, O ⇔ L ⇔ 12, S ⇔ H ⇔ 8, E ⇔ V ⇔ 22
9 + 12 + 8 + 22 = 51
WAX is coded as 33
W ⇔ D ⇔ 4, A ⇔ Z ⇔ 26, X ⇔ C ⇔ 3
4 + 26 + 3 = 33
Similarly, FOX is coded as 36
F ⇔ U ⇔ 21, O ⇔ L ⇔ 12, X ⇔ C ⇔ 3
21 + 12 + 3 = 36
