Question:

In a certain code language, ‘RAJ’ is coded as ‘87’ and ‘GITA’ is coded as ‘148’. How will ‘VARUN’ be coded in that language?

Options:

176

403

380

234

Correct Answer:

380

Explanation:

The logic;

(Sum of positional values of letters x total no. of letters = number)

RAJ = 3

R(18)+A(1)+J(10)

= 29 x3 = 87

And,

GITA = 4

G(7)+I(9)+T(20)+A(1)

= 37 x4 = 148

Thus,

VARUN = 5

V(22)+A(1)+R(18)+U(21)+N(14)

76 x5 = 380
