In a certain code language, ‘RIP’ is written as ‘42’ and ‘MOL’ is written as ‘39’. What will be the code for ‘GAN’ in that code language?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
A B C D E F G H I J K L M

26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14
*********************************************
THE LOGIC FOLLOWED HERE IS:
ADD THE PLACE VALUE OF DIGITS - 1
AS
RIP = R + I + P
= 18 + 9 + 16 -1
= 43 - 1 = 42
MOL = M + O + L
= 13 + 15 + 12 - 1
= 40 - 1 = 39
SIMILARLY
GAN = G + A+ N
= 7 + 1 + 14 - 1
= 22 - 1 = 21
THUS 21 IS CORRECT ANSWER
