In a certain code language ‘ROUBST’ is coded as 61. How will ‘FORTUNATE’ be coded in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 114.
The logic used here is:
‘ROUBST’ is coded as 61
Opposite of R = I = 9
Opposite of O = L = 12
Opposite of U = F = 6
Opposite of B = Y = 25
Opposite of S = H = 8
Opposite of T = G = 7
ROUBUST = (9 + 12 + 6 + 25 + 8 + 7) - Number of letters in the word = 67 - 6 = 61
Similarly;
Code for the word FORTUNATE:
Opposite of F = T = 21
Opposite of O = L = 12
Opposite of R = I = 9
Opposite of T = G = 7
Opposite of U = F = 6
Opposite of N = M = 13
Opposite of A = Z = 26
Opposite of T = G = 7
Opposite of E = V = 22
FORTUNATE = (21 + 12 + 9 + 7 + 6 + 13 + 26 + 7 + 22 ) - Number of letters in the word = 123 - 9 = 114
Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.
