In a certain code language, 'RAHUL' is coded as 180, and 'POOJA' is coded as 171. How will 'RAJIV' be coded in the same language?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
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;
(adding all the positional values of each letter then multiply by 3)
So,
'RAHUL' is coded as 180,
18+1+8+21+12 x3
=> 180
And,
'POOJA' is coded as 171
16+15+15+10+1 x3
=> 171
Similarly,
'RAJIV' be coded as ...?
18+1+10+9+22 x3
=> 180
