In a certain code language, 'GOLF’ is coded as '44' and 'BALL' is coded as '31'. How will 'PLAY' be coded in that language?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
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
*************************************
THE LOGIC FOLLOWED HERE IS :
SUM OF THE POSITIONAL VALUE + 4 = CODE GIVEN
AS
GOLF
G = 7
O = 15
L = 12
F = 6
( 7 + 15 + 12 + 6) + 4
= 40 + 4
= 44
AND
BALL
B = 2
A = 1
L = 12
L = 12
2 + 1 + 12 + 12 = 27
27 + 4 = 21
SIMILARLY
PLAY
P = 16
L = 12
Y = 25
A = 1
16 + 12 + 25 + 1 = 54
54 + 4 = 58
