In a certain code language, ‘TRAVEL’ is written as ‘156’, and ‘PERSON’ is written as ‘174’. How will ‘ALMOND’ be written in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 118.
The logic used here is:
‘TRAVEL’ is written as ‘156’
TRAVEL = 20 + 18 + 1 + 22 + 5 + 12 = 78 = 78 × 2 = 156
‘PERSON’ is written as ‘174’
PERSON = 16 + 5 + 18 + 19 + 15 + 14 = 87 = 87 × 2 = 174
Similarly;
Code for the word ALMOND:
ALMOND = 1 + 12 + 13 + 15 + 14 + 4 = 59 = 59 × 2 = 118
Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.
