In a code language, 'MUMBAI' is written as ‘N46’ and ‘KOLKATA’ is written as ‘L60’. How will 'LUCKNOW' be written in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. M87.
Logic: 1st letter + 1; The sum of place value of letters (except 1st letter)
'MUMBAI' is written as ‘N46’
M + 1 = N; UMBAI → 21 + 13 + 2 + 1 + 9 = 46
‘KOLKATA’ is written as ‘L60’
K + 1 = L; OLKATA → 15 + 12 + 11 + 1 + 20 + 1 = 60
Similarly, 'LUCKNOW' will be written as:
L + 1 = M; UCKNOW → 21 + 3 + 11 + 14 + 15 + 23 = 87
