Question : Directions: In a certain code language, ADULT is coded as 53 and LACK is coded as 23. How will HEAVEN be coded in that language?
Option 1: 58
Option 2: 55
Option 3: 49
Option 4: 61
Correct Answer: 49
Solution :
Given:
ADULT is coded as 53 and LACK is coded as 23.
Add the positional values of the alphabet of ADULT and from the sum subtract the number of the alphabet, to obtain the required code –
ADULT→A(1) + D(4) + U(21) + L(12) + T(20) = 58; 58 – 5 = 53
LACK→L(12) + A(1) + C(3) + K(11) = 27; 27 – 4 = 23
Similarly, follow the same pattern for HEAVEN→H(8) + E(5) + A(1) + V(22) + E(5) + N(14) = 55; 55 – 6 = 49
So, HEAVEN is coded as 49. Hence, the third option is correct.
