Question:

In a certain code language, ‘LOAF’ is coded as ‘8362’, ‘LICK’ is coded as ‘5103’, ‘JOCK’ is coded as ‘0841’, ‘JEAN’ is coded as ‘9472’. What is the code for ‘LOC’ in that code language ?

Options:

385

341

381

480

Correct Answer:

381

Explanation:

As per the observation no specific pattern is followed here

So,

1) L   O   A   F  =  8   3   6   2

   12 15  01 06

2) L   I   C   K  =  5   1   0   3

   12 09 03 11

3) J   O   C   K  =  0   8   4   1

   10  15  03 11

4) J   E   A   N  =  9   4   7   2

   10 05 01 14

 

Letters  L  O  A  F  I  J  C / K

Codes  3  8  2  6  5  4  1 / 0

 

--> Code for C is either 1 or 0

--> Code for K is either 0 or 1

Thus, as per the above codes:-

L = 3, O = 8, C = 1/0

Thus, we have 381 as correct option
