In a certain code language, ‘SPIRIT’ is coded as ‘65’ and ‘DENSE’ is coded as ‘83’. How will ‘LOGICAL’ be coded in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 123.
Logic: [Sum of reverse place value - Number of letters]
SPIRIT → S ⇔ H = 8, P ⇔ K = 11, I ⇔ R = 18, R ⇔ I = 9, I ⇔ R = 18, T ⇔ G = 7;
= (8 + 11 + 18 + 9 + 18 + 7) - 6 = 71 - 6 = 65
DENSE → D ⇔ W = 23, E ⇔ V = 22, N ⇔ M = 13, S ⇔ H = 8, E ⇔ V = 22
= (23 + 22 + 13 + 8 + 22) - 5 = 88 - 5 = 83
Similarly, LOGICAL → L ⇔ O = 15, O ⇔ L = 12, G ⇔ T = 20, I ⇔ R = 18, C ⇔ X = 24, A ⇔ Z = 26, L ⇔ O = 15
= (15 + 12 + 20 + 18 + 24 + 26 + 15) - 7 = 130 - 7 = 123
