In a certain code language, TIFFIN is coded as 67 and BOX is coded as 44. How will CARDBOARD be coded as in that language?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
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
***********************************************
THE LOGIC FOLLOWED HERE IS:
SUM OF THE PLACE VALUE OF LETTER + 3
TIFFIN = 20 + 9 + 6 + 6 + 9 + 14 = 64
TIFFIN = 64 + 3 = 67
BOX = 2 + 15 + 24 = 41
BOX = 41 + 3 = 44
SIMILARLY
CARDBOARD = 3 + 1+ 18+ 4 + 2 + 15+ 1 + 18 +4 = 66
CARDBOARD = 66 + 3 = 69
