In a certain code language, ‘SOUND’ is coded as ‘219’ and ‘BRICK’ is coded as ‘172’. How will ‘SLACK’ be coded in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3, i.e., 184.
Logic: Add the positional value of all alphabet numbers of consonants
‘SOUND’ is coded as ‘219’
S ⇔ 19, O ⇔ 15, U ⇔ 21, N ⇔ 14, D ⇔ 4
19 + 15 + 21 + 14 + 4 = 73 3 = 219
‘BRICK’ is coded as ‘172’
B ⇔ 2, R ⇔ 18, I ⇔ 9, C ⇔ 3, K ⇔ 11
2 + 18 + 9 + 3 + 11 = 43 4 = 172
Similarly, ‘SLACK’ is coded as ‘184’
S ⇔ 19, L ⇔ 12, A ⇔ 1, C ⇔ 3, K ⇔ 11
19 + 12 + 1 + 3 + 11 = 46 4 = 184
