Correct Answer: 69
Solution :
Given:
The code for TARNISH is 96 and the code for CORRECT is 89.
Add the sum of the positional values of the letters of TARNISH and the number of letters in the word, to obtain the required code –
T (20) + A(1) + R(18) + N(14) + I(9) + S(19) + H(8)
20 + 1 + 18 + 14 + 9 + 19 + 8 = 89
The number of letters in TARNISH is 7.
= 89 + 7 = 96
Thus, TARNISH is coded as 96.
And, the code for CORRECT is 89 –
C(3) + O(15) + R (18) + R(18) + E (5) + C (3) + T(20)
3 + 15 + 18 + 18 + 5 + 3 + 20 = 82
The number of letters in CORRECT is 7.
= 82 + 7 = 89
Thus, CORRECT is coded as 7.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for GENERAL –
G(7) + E(5) + N (14) + E (5) + R(18) + A(1) + L(12)
7 + 5 + 14 + 5 + 18 + 1 + 12 = 62
The number of letters in GENERAL is 7
= 62 + 7 = 69
Therefore, the code for GENERAL is 69. Hence, the first option is correct.
