In a certain code language, 'LOWER' is coded as '186' and 'MULISH' is coded as '320'. How will 'OPTIONAL' be coded in that language?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
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;
(sum of the positional values of opposite letters x total no. of consonant in word)
So,
LOWER --> OLDVI (opposite letters)
L,W,R = 3 consonant
15+12+4+22+9
62
then, 62x3= 186
And,
MULISH--> NFORHS
M,L,S,H = 4 consonant
14+6+15+18+8+19
80
80x4= 320
Similarly,
OPTIONAL --> LKGRLMZO
P,T,N,L = 4 consonant
12+11+7+18+12+13+26+15
114
114x4= 456.
