In a code language, if TERMS is written as 375, how will ORGANS be written in the same language?
 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4, i.e., 444.

Logic: The code is derived by summing the numerical positions of the letters in the word and multiplying by the number of letters in the word

TERMS is written as 375

T ⇔ 20, E ⇔ 5, R ⇔ 18, M ⇔ 13, S ⇔ 19

20 + 5 + 18 + 13 + 19 = 75, 75 × 5 =  375

Similarly, ORGANS is written as 444

O ⇔ 15, R ⇔ 18, G ⇔ 7, A ⇔ 1, N ⇔ 14, S ⇔ 19

15 + 18 + 7 + 1 + 14 + 19 = 74, 74 × 6 =  444
