In a certain code language, 'ADULT' is coded as '53' and 'LACK' is coded as '23'. How will 'HEAVEN' be coded in that language?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14
******************************************************
THE LOGIC FOLLOWED HERE IS :
SUM OF THE PLACE VALUE OF ALPHABET - NUMBER OF LETTERS GIVEN
AS
ADULT = 1 + 4 + 21 + 12 + 20 = 58
58 - 5 = 53
AND
LACK = 12 + 1 + 3 + 11 = 27
27 - 4 = 23
SIMILARLY
HEAVEN = 8 + 5 + 1 + 22 + 5 + 14 = 55
