In a code language, 'PEN' is coded as ‘70’ and 'NEST' is coded as ‘116’. How will 'PEON' be coded in the same language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 100.
Logic: Add positional value of all alphabets × 2.
⇒ PEN is coded as 70
16 + 5 + 14 = 35
35 × 2 = 70
⇒ NEST is coded as 116
14 + 5 + 19 + 20 = 58
58 × 2 = 116
Similarly, ⇒ PEON is coded as 100
16 + 5 + 15 + 14 = 50
50 × 2 = 100
