In a certain code language, REFUSAL is coded as 100 and SHORTEN is coded as 83. How will INERTIA be coded in that 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 FOLLOWED HERE IS :
SUM OF THE PLACE VALUE OF OPPOSITE ALPHABET - NUMBER OF LETTERS GIVEN
AS
REFUSAL = 9 + 22 + 21+ 6 + 8 + 26 + 15 = 107
107 - 7 = 100
SIMILARLY
SHORTEN = 8 + 19 + 12 + 9 + 7 + 22 + 13 =90
90 - 7 = 83
SIMILARLY
INERTIA = 18 + 13 + 22 + 9 + 7 + 18 + 26 =113
113 -7 = 106
