In a coded language, RETAIN is coded as 24, BESIDES is coded as 35 and PROCEDURE is coded as 63, then what is the code for GIVEN?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The Pattern is,
Code = Number of letters × (Number of letters -2)
Check with given words:
RETAIN
Letters = 6
6× (6-2) = 6×4=24(Correct)
BESIDES
Letters = 7
7× (7-2) = 7×5=35(Correct)
PROCEDURE
Letters = 9
9× (9-2) = 9×7=63(Correct)
Apply to ‘GIVEN’
Letters = 5
5× (5-2) =5×3 = 15
Hence, the correct answer is option (2).
