If each of the letters in the English alphabet is assigned an even numerical value by giving A = 2, B = 4 and so on, then what would be the total value of the letters of word 'CUET' when similarly coded?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → 98
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14
IF
A = 2
B = 4
IT IS 2 TIMES OF POSITIONAL VALUE OF ALPHABET
CUET
THEREFORE
C = 3 = 3 × 2 = 6
U = 21 = 21 × 2 = 42
E = 5 = 5 × 2 = 10
T = 20 = 20 × 2 = 40
ADDITION OF ALL ALPHABET POSITIONAL VALUE
6 + 42 + 10 + 40 = 98
