In a certain code language, 'USJI' is coded as '49' and 'DPTQ' is coded as '51'. What is the code for 'FAUL' in the given language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1, i.e., 68.
Logic: Finding the reverse position of each letter in the alphabet and subtracting that number from 27.
'USJI' is coded as '49'
U ⇔ 21, 27 - 21 = 6, S ⇔ 19, 27 - 19 = 8, J ⇔ 10, 27 - 10 = 17, I ⇔ 9, 27 - 9 = 18,
Sum = 6 + 8 + 17 + 18 = 49
'DPTQ' is coded as '51'
D ⇔ 4, 27 - 4 = 23, P ⇔ 16, 27 - 16 = 11, T ⇔ 20, 27 - 20 = 7, Q ⇔ 17, 27 - 17 = 10,
Sum = 23 + 11 + 7 + 10 = 51.
Similarly, 'FAUL' is coded as '68'
F ⇔ 6, 27 - 6 = 21, A ⇔ 1, 27 - 1 = 26, U ⇔ 21, 27 - 21 = 6, L ⇔ 12, 27 - 12 = 15
Sum = 21 + 26 + 6 + 15 = 68.
