Correct Answer: 400
Solution :
Given:
FONT is coded as 714 and GLUE is coded as 494.
Multiply the sum of the positional value of the first two and last two letters of FONT, to get the required missing code –
F→6; O→15; N→14; T→20
(6 + 15) × (14 + 20) = 21 × 34 = 714
Thus, FONT is coded as 714.
And, GLUE is coded as 494 –
G→7; L→12; U→21; E→5
(7 + 12) × (21 + 5) = 19 × 26 = 494
Thus, GLUE is coded as 494.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for JOKE
J→10; O→15; K→11; E→5
(10 + 15) × (11 + 5) = 25 × 16 = 400
Thus, JOKE is coded as 400. Hence, the second option is correct.
