In a certain code language, 'BRAVE' is written as '43' and 'BOTH' is written as '41'. How will 'ABACUS' be written in that code language?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3

26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14
******************************************************
THE LOGIC FOLLOWED HERE IS:
SUM OF THE PLACE VALUE - NUMBER OF LETTERS GIVEN IN THE WORD
AS
BRAVE = NUMBER OF LETTERS = 5
= (2 + 18 + 1 + 22 + 5) - 5
= 48 -5
= 43
BOTH = NUMBER OF LETTERS = 4
= (2 + 15 + 20 + 8 ) - 4
= 45 - 4
= 41
SIMILARLY
ABACUS = NUMBER OF LETTERS = 6
= (1 + 2 + 1 + 3 + 21 + 19) - 6
= 47 - 6
= 41
