Question:

If in a certain code language, 'BAKE' is written as '19', then how will 'MAKE' be written in that code?

Options:

29

28

30

31

Correct Answer:

30

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → 30

Step 1: Decode BAKE

Assign alphabetical positions:

  • B = 2
  • A = 1
  • K = 11
  • E = 5

Sum = 2 + 1 + 11 + 5 = 19

Pattern: Sum of alphabetical positions

Step 2: Apply the same to MAKE

  • M = 13
  • A = 1
  • K = 11
  • E = 5

Sum = 13 + 1 + 11 + 5 = 30
