If PALAM is given the code number 43, what code number can be given to SANTACRUZ?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → 123
Add the places of the letters in the alphabet: for PALAM the total is exactly 43, with nothing added or multiplied.
PALAM: P (16), A (1), L (12), A (1), M (13), so \(16+1+12+1+13=43\)
SANTACRUZ: S (19), A (1), N (14), T (20), A (1), C (3), R (18), U (21), Z (26)
\(19+1+14+20+1+3+18+21+26=123\)
So SANTACRUZ is given the code number 123.
