In a code language, 'ROSE' is coded as 228 and 'TULIP' is coded as 390. How will 'DAHLIA' be coded in the same language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 210.
Logic: Sum of place value of letters × No. of letters = Code
'ROSE' is coded as 228
(18 + 15 + 19 + 5) × 4 = 57 × 4 = 228
'TULIP' is coded as 390
(20 + 21 + 12 + 9 + 16) × 5 = 78 × 5 = 390
Similarly, 'DAHLIA' will be coded as:
(4 + 1 + 8 + 12 + 9 + 1) × 6 = 35 × 6 = 210
