In a certain code language, ‘SET’ is coded as ‘37’ and ‘MIX’ is coded as ‘35’. How will ‘WAR’ be coded in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 39.
Logic: number = (sum of positional values of first and last letter) - 2
SET: S = 19, T = 20
(19 + 20) - 2 = 39 - 2 = 37
MIX: M = 13, X = 24
(13 + 24) - 2 = 37 - 2 = 35
Similarly, WAR: W = 23, R = 18
(23 + 18) - 2 = 41 - 2 = 39
