In a code language, 'COOL' is coded as ‘180’ and 'MAN' is coded as ‘84’. How will ‘QUIET' be coded in the same language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 360.
Logic: Sum of place value of letters × Number of letters in the given word = Number code
'COOL' is coded as ‘180’
(3 + 15 + 15 + 12) × 4 = 45 × 4 = 180
'MAN' is coded as ‘84’
(13 + 1 + 14) × 3 = 28 × 3 = 84
Similarly, ‘QUIET' will be coded:
(17 + 21 + 9 + 5 + 20) × 5 = 72 × 5 = 360
