Question : Directions: In a certain code language, PESO is written as 55 and THEN is written as 47. How will NIKE be written in that language?
Option 1: 37
Option 2: 38
Option 3: 40
Option 4: 39
Correct Answer: 39
Solution :
Given:
PESO is written as 55 and THEN is written as 47.
Add the position value of the letters of the word PESO to obtain the required code –
P→16; E→5; S→19; O→15
Now, add the position values –
16 + 5 + 19 + 15 = 55
Thus, PESO is coded as 55.
And, THEN is written as 47.
T→20; H→8; E→5; N→14
Now, add the position values –
20 + 8 + 5 + 14 = 47
Thus, THEN is coded as 47.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for NIKE –
N→14; I→9; K→11; E→5
Now, add the position values –
14 + 9 + 11 + 5 = 39
So, NIKE is coded as 39. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
