In a code language, 'DENT' is written as '51' and 'LOAD' is written as '40', How will 'COST' be written in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 65.
The logic used here is:
'DENT' is written as '51' and 'LOAD' is written as '40'
DENT = 4 + 5 + 14 + 20 = 43 + 8 = 51
LOAD = 12 + 15 + 1 + 4 = 32 + 8 = 40
Similarly,
Code for the word COST:
COST = 3 + 15 + 19 + 20 = 57 + 8 = 65
Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
