Question : Directions: In a certain code language, TAKES is coded as 51, and LEAVE is coded as 40, What is the code for TEAM in that code language?
Option 1: 49
Option 2: 34
Option 3: 36
Option 4: 39
Correct Answer: 34
Solution :
Given:
TAKES is coded as 51 and LEAVE is coded as 40.
Subtract 5 from the sum of the positional values of the letters of TAKES, to obtain the required code –
T(20) + A(1) + K(11) + E(5) + S(19) = 56; 56 – 5 = 51
Thus, TAKES is coded as 51.
And, LEAVE is coded as 40 –
L(12) + E(5) + A(1) + V(22) + E(5) = 45; 45 – 5 = 40
Thus, LEAVES is coded as 40.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for TEAM→
T(20) + E(5) + A(1) + M(13) = 39; 39 – 5 = 34
So, TEAM is coded as 34. Hence, the second option is correct.
