In a certain code language, 'VIRTUE' is coded as '201', and 'TRAGEDY' is coded as '218'. How will 'PROFANE' be coded in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 342.
Opposite of V = E = 5, Opposite of I = R = 18, Opposite of R = I = 9 , Opposite of T = G = 7, Opposite of U = F = 6, Opposite of E = V = 22
VIRTUE = 5 + 18 + 9 + 7 + 6 + 22 = 67
67 × Number of vowels = 67 × 3 = 201
Similarly,
Opposite of P = K = 11, Opposite of R = I = 9, Opposite of O = L = 12 , Opposite of F = U = 21, Opposite of A = Z = 26, Opposite of N = M = 13, Opposite of E = V = 22
PROFANE = 11 + 9 + 12 + 21 + 26 + 13 + 22 = 114
114 × Number of vowels = 114 × 3 = 342
