In a coded language, BOUND is coded as 20, TRAIL is coded as 50 then find the code of COPMUTER
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Just as
BOUND → 20
Place values of letters:
B = 2
O = 15
U = 21
N = 14
D = 4
Sum of vowels:
O + U = 15 + 21 = 36
Sum of consonants:
B + N + D = 2 + 14 + 4 = 20
CODE = 20 (sum of consonants)
and
TRAIL → 50
T = 20
R = 18
A = 1
I = 9
L = 12
Sum of consonants:
20 + 18 + 12 = 50
Hence, the rule is: Sum of place values of consonants
Similarly,
COMPUTER
Place values of letters:
C = 3
O = 15 (vowels)
M = 13
P = 16
U = 21 (vowels)
T = 20
E = 5 (vowels)
R = 18
Sum of consonants:
3 + 13 + 16 + 20 + 18 = 70
