Correct Answer: 82
Solution :
Given:
CROSS is written as 66 and CHART is written as 90.
Add the reverse position value of the letters of the word CROSS, then add the total number of letters in the word, to obtain the required code –
C→24; R→9; O→12; S→8; S→8
Now, add the reverse position value of the word CROSS, then add the total number of letters in the word –
24 + 9 + 12 + 8 + 8 = 61 + 5 = 66
Thus, CROSS is coded as 66.
And, CHART is written as 90.
C→24; H→19; A→26; R→9; T→7
Now, add the reverse position value of the word CHART, then add the total number of letters in the word –
24 + 19 + 26 + 9 + 7 = 85 + 5 = 90
Thus, CHART is coded as 90.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for SYMBOL –
S→8; Y→2; M→14; B→25; O→12; L→15
Now, add the reverse position value of the word SYMBOL, then add the total number of letters in the word –
8 + 2 + 14 + 25 + 12 + 15 = 76 + 6 = 82
Thus, SYMBOL is coded as 82. Hence, the first option is correct.
