In a certain code language, 'TEA' is coded as 78, and 'SHAKE' is coded as 220. How will 'COFFEE' be coded in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 240.
Logic: Sum of place value of letters × No. of letters = Code
'TEA' is coded as 78 → (20 + 5 + 1) × 3 = 26 × 3 = 78
'SHAKE' is coded as 220 → (19 + 8 + 1 + 11 + 5) × 5 = 44 × 5 = 220
Similarly, 'COFFEE' will be coded as: → (3 + 15 + 6 + 6 + 5 + 5) × 6 = 40 × 6 = 240
