In a certain code language, ‘VIOLENT’ is coded as ‘104’ and ‘UPDATED’ is coded as ‘78’. How will ‘TOUCHED’ be coded in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 83.
Logic: Sum of place value of letters + 7
‘VIOLENT’ is coded as ‘104’
(22 + 9 + 15 + 12 + 5 + 14 + 20) + 7 = 104
‘UPDATED’ is coded as ‘78’
(21 + 16 + 4 + 1 + 20 + 5 + 4) + 7 = 78
Similarly, ‘TOUCHED’ will be coded as:
(20 + 15 + 21 + 3 + 8 + 5 + 4) + 7 = 83
