In a certain code language, CORN is written as ‘56’ and FISH is written as ‘48’. How will GOLD be written in that code language?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → 44
Add the places of the letters of each word and compare the sum with the code.
CORN: \(3+15+18+14=50\), and the code is 56, which is \(50+6\)
FISH: \(6+9+19+8=42\), and the code is 48, which is \(42+6\)
So the code is the sum of the letter places plus 6
GOLD: \(7+15+12+4=38\)
\(38+6=44\)
So GOLD is written as 44.
