In a certain code language, ‘JAIL’ is coded as ‘304’, ‘LAWN’ is coded as ‘232’. What is the code for ‘NAVY’ in that code 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

**********************************************************
The logic here;
(sum of the opposite place value of letters x4)
So,
‘JAIL’ is coded as ‘304’,
J → Q(17)
A → Z(26)
I → R(18)
L → O(15)
=> 17+26+18+15 x4= 304
And,
L → O(15)
A → Z(26)
W → D(4)
N → M(13)
=> 15+26+4+13 x4= 232
Similarly,
N → M(13)
A → Z(26)
V → E(5)
Y → B(2)
=> 13+26+5+2 x4= 184
