In a certain code language, 'ZIYJ' is coded as '38' and 'PXBO' is coded as '51'. What is
the code for 'VTUC' in the given code language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1, i.e., 42.
'ZIYJ' is coded as '38'
Z ⇔ A ⇔ 1, I ⇔ R ⇔ 18, Y ⇔ B ⇔ 2, J ⇔ Q ⇔ 17
1 + 18 + 2 + 17 = 38.
'PXBO' is coded as '51'
P ⇔ K ⇔ 11, X ⇔ C ⇔ 3, B ⇔ Y ⇔ 25, O ⇔ L ⇔ 12
11 + 3 + 25 + 12 = 51.
'VTUC' is coded as '42'
V ⇔ E ⇔ 5, T ⇔ G ⇔ 7, U ⇔ F ⇔ 6, C ⇔ X ⇔ 24
5 + 7 + 6 + 24 = 42.
