In a code language, 'ECTOPIC' is written as ‘71’, and ‘EDIFY’ is written as ‘49’. How will 'ECONOMY' be written in that language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 90.

The logic used here is:

'ECTOPIC' is written as ‘71’

ECTOPIC = 5 + 3 + 20 + 15 + 16 + 9 + 3 = 71

‘EDIFY’ is written as ‘49’

EDIFY = 5 + 4 + 9 + 6 + 25 = 49

Similarly;

Code for the word ECONOMY':

ECONOMY = 5 + 3 + 15 + 14 + 15 + 13 + 25 = 90

Hence, 90 is the correct answer.
