In a certain code language, 'TREE' is coded as '16' and 'TRUNK' is coded as '28'. How will 'MONEY' be coded in that code language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Just as:
TREE: T(20) + R(18) + E(5) + E(5) = 48
48/3 = 16
And:
TRUNK: T(20) + R(18) + U(21) + N(14) + K(11) = 84
84/3 = 28
Similarly:
M = 13, O = 15, N = 14, E = 5, Y = 25
Sum: 13 + 15 + 14 + 5 + 25 = 72
Code: 72/3 = 24
Therefore, 'MONEY' will be written as 24.
Correct Option: A) 24
