In a certain code language, ‘SAGE’ is coded as ‘-8’, ‘TABS’ is coded as ‘0’. What is the code for ‘VERB’ in that code language?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
Given; In a certain code language, ‘SAGE’ is coded as ‘-8’, ‘TABS’ is coded as ‘0’.
The logic followed here is,
sum of 1st two digit values - sum of last two digit values
So,
S(19) + A(1) + G(7) + E(5)
= 8
And 8 is written as minus 8
T(20) + A(1) + B(2)
= 0
And 0 is written as same
Thus, for VERB
V(22) + E(5) + R(18) + B(2)
= 7
And 7 is written as minus 7
