In a certain code language, ‘STUMBLE’ is coded as ‘95’, and ‘NASTY’ is coded as ‘55’. How will ‘CLOUDY’ be coded in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4, i.e., 80.
Logic: The Sum of the reverse positional values of vowels and consonants, and subtracting the number of vowels.
‘STUMBLE’ is coded as ‘95’
S(8), T(7), M(14), B(25), L(15) and E (22)
S ⇔ H ⇔ 8, T ⇔ G ⇔ 7, U ⇔ F ⇔ 6, M ⇔ N ⇔ 14, B ⇔ Y ⇔ 25, L ⇔ O ⇔ 15, E ⇔ V ⇔ 22
8 + 7 + 6 + 14 + 25 + 15 + 22 = 97 - 2 = 95
‘NASTY’ is coded as ‘55’
N ⇔ M ⇔ 13, A ⇔ Z ⇔ 26, S ⇔ H ⇔ 8, T ⇔ G ⇔ 7, Y ⇔ B ⇔ 2
13 + 26 + 8 + 7 + 2 = 56 - 1 = 55
Similarly, ‘CLOUDY’ is coded as ‘80’
C ⇔ X ⇔ 24, L ⇔ O ⇔ 15, O ⇔ L ⇔ 12, U ⇔ F ⇔ 6, D ⇔ W ⇔ 23, Y ⇔ B ⇔ 2
24 + 15 + 12 + 6 + 23 + 2 = 82 - 2 = 80
