In a certain code language, TEACH' is coded as '74', 'STUDY' is coded as '178'. What is the code for "NEVER' in that code language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 128
Logic: (Sum of the positional value of all letters) × 2 = Code
'TEACH' is coded as '74'
= (20 + 5 + 1+ 3 + 8) × 2
= 37 × 2 = 74
'STUDY' is coded as '178'
= (19 + 20 + 21 + 4 + 25) × 2
= 89 × 2 = 178
Similarly, for 'NEVER':
(14 + 5 + 22 + 5 + 18) × 2
= 64 × 2 =128
