In a code language, 'JASMINE' is coded as '213' and 'TULIP' is coded as '234'. How will 'CHAMELI' be coded in the same language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 153.
'JASMINE' is coded as '213'
(10 + 1 + 19 + 13 + 9 + 14 + 5) × 3 = 71 × 3 = 213
'TULIP' is coded as '234
(20 + 21 + 12 + 9 + 16) × 3 = 78 × 3 = 234
Similarly, 'CHAMELI' will be coded:
(3 + 8 + 1 + 13 + 5 + 12 + 9) × 3 = 51 × 3 = 153
