Question:

In a certain code language, ‘MINT’ is coded as ‘224’ and ‘FANCY’ is coded as ‘245’. How will ‘CONTOUR’ be coded in that language?

Options:

259

301

597

742

Correct Answer:

742

Explanation:

The logic followed here is;

Add place value and multiply by number of letters

--> MINT = 13+9+14+20x4 = 224

--> FANCY = 6+1+14+3+25x5 = 245

Thus,

CONTOUR = 3+15+14+20+15+21+18x7 = 742
