In code language, if 'PLAYER' is coded as '119', then how will 'OPTIONS' be coded in the same language?
 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1, i.e., 150.

Logic: Add all letters place value + 42

'PLAYER' is coded as '119'

P ⇔ 16, L ⇔ 12, A ⇔ 1, Y ⇔ 25, E ⇔ 5, R ⇔ 18

16 + 12 + 1 + 25 + 5 + 18 = 77, 77 + 42 = 119

Similarly, 'OPTIONS' is coded as '150'

O ⇔ 15, P ⇔ 16, T ⇔ 20, I ⇔ 9, O ⇔ 15, N ⇔ 14, S ⇔ 19

15 + 16  + 20 + 9 + 15 + 14 + 19 = 108, 108 + 42 = 150
