In a certain code language, SICK is coded as 168 and TAR is coded as 117. How will NOMAD be coded in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 235.
Logic: Sum of alphabet positional value × Number of letters of word.
SICK is coded as 168 → (19 + 9 + 3 + 11) × 4 = 42 × 4 = 168
TAR is coded as 117→ (20 + 1 + 18) × 3 = 39 × 3 = 117
Similarly, NOMAD will be coded as: → (14 + 15 + 13 + 1 + 4) × 5 = 47 × 5 = 235
