Question:

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?

Options:

78

76

98

96

Correct Answer:

98

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → 98

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

 ↓    ↓    ↓    ↓    ↓     ↓   ↓    ↓     ↓   ↓    ↓    ↓    ↓

 Z   Y    X   W   V    U   T    S    R   Q   P    O   N

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
