Correct Answer: 435
Solution :
Given:
ROSE is coded as 228 and TULIP is coded as 390.
Add the position values of each letter of ROSE and then multiply it by the number of letters in the word to get the required code –
Position value of letters of ROSE; R→18; O→15; S→19; E→5
And, the number of letters in ROSE = 4
⇒ (18 + 15 + 19 + 5) × 4 = 57 × 4 = 228
Thus, ROSE is coded as 228.
And, TULIP is coded as 390 –
Position value of letters of TULIP; T→20; U→21; L→12; I→9; P→16
And, the number of letters in TULIP = 5
⇒ (20 + 21 + 12 + 9 + 16) × 5 = 78 × 5 = 390
Thus, TULIP is coded as 390.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for LOTUS –
Position value of letters of LOTUS; L→12; O→15; T→20; U→21; S→19
And the number of letters in LOTUS = 5
⇒ (12 + 15 + 20 + 21 + 19) × 5 = 87 × 5 = 435
Thus, LOTUS is coded as 435. Hence, the first option is correct.
