In a certain code language, ‘SALT’ is coded as ‘16’, and ‘PICKLE’ is coded as ‘36’. How will ‘PRESERVATIVE’ be coded in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 144
Code = (Number of letters)2
SALT:
No. of letters = 4 = (4)2 = 16
PICKLE:
No. of letters = 6 = (6)2 = 36
Similarly,
PRESERVATIVE:
No. of letters = 12 = (12)2 = 144
