In a certain code language, SAD is coded as 48 and DOG is coded as 52. What is the code for HIT in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2, i.e., 74.
Logic: Add the place value of all letters × 2 = Code
SAD is coded as 48
S ⇔ 19, A ⇔ 1, D ⇔ 4
19 + 1 + 4 = 24 × 2 = 48
DOG is coded as 52.
D ⇔ 4, O ⇔ 15, G ⇔ 7
4 + 15 + 7 = 26 × 2 = 52
Similarly, HIT is coded as 74
H ⇔ 8, I ⇔ 9, T ⇔ 20
8 + 9 + 20 = 37 × 2 = 74
