Question : Directions: In a certain code language, YATCH is coded as 67 and DINE is coded as 40. How will MANGO be coded in that language?
Option 1: 57
Option 2: 60
Option 3: 62
Option 4: 65
Correct Answer: 60
Solution :
Given:
YATCH is coded as 67 and DINE is coded as 40.
Add the position value of the letters of the given word YATCH then add double the total number of letters in the word to obtain the required code –
Y→25; A→1; T→20; C→3; H→8
Now, add the position value of the given word YATCH then add double the total number of letters in the word –
(25 + 1 + 20 + 3 + 8) + (2 × 5) = 57 + 10 = 67
Thus, YATCH is coded as 67.
And, DINE is coded as 40 –
D→4; I→9; N→14; E→5
Now, add the position value of the given word DINE then add double the total number of letters in the word –
(4 + 9 + 14 + 5) + (2 × 4) = 32 + 8 = 40
Thus, DINE is coded as 40.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for MANGO→
M→13; A→1; N→14; G→7; O→15
Now, add the position value of the given word MANGO then add double the total number of letters in the word –
(13 + 1 + 14 + 7 + 15) + (2 × 5) = 50 + 10 = 60
So, MANGO is coded as 60. Hence, the second option is correct.
