In a certain code language, 'TAKES is coded as '51', and 'LEAVE' is coded as '40'. What is the code for 'TEAM' in that code language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 34.
The logic used here is:
'TAKES is coded as '51'
The sum of positional values of letters - 5 = Code
TAKES = 20 + 1 + 11 + 5 + 19 - 5 = 56 - 5 = 51
'LEAVE' is coded as '40'
LEAVE = 12 + 5 + 1 + 22 + 5 - 5 = 45 - 5 = 40
Similarly;
Code for the word TEAM:
TEAM = 20 + 5 + 1 + 13 - 5 = 39 - 5 = 34
Hence, 34 is the correct answer.
