In a certain code language, 'ICE' is coded as '20' and 'HOT' is coded as '46'. How will 'POT' be coded in that language?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

Z Y X W V U T S R Q P O N
26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14
*************************************
THE LOGIC FOLLOWED HERE IS :
ADDITION OF ALL LETTERS + 3 = CODE
AS
ICE
= ICE + 3
= (9 + 3 + 5) + 3
= 17 +3
= 20
AND
HOT
= HOT + 3
= (8 + 15 + 20) + 3
= 43 +3
= 46
SIMILARLY
POT
= POT + 3
= (16 + 15 + 20) + 3
= 51 +3
= 54
