In a certain code language, 'AGC' is coded as '42', and 'BAD' is coded as '16’. How will 'KIC' be coded in that language?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
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

26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14
**********************************************************
THE LOGIC FOLLOWED HERE IS:
MULTIPLICATION OF PLACE VALUE × 2 = GIVEN CODE
AS
ACT
THE PLACE VALUE OF A IS 1
THE PLACE VALUE OF C IS 3
THE PLACE VALUE OF T IS 20
(1 × 3 × 20) × 2
= 60 × 2 = 120
BAD
THE PLACE VALUE OF B IS 2
THE PLACE VALUE OF A IS 1
THE PLACE VALUE OF D IS 4
(2 × 1 × 4) × 2
= 8 × 2 = 16
SIMILARLY
KIC = ?
THE PLACE VALUE OF K IS 11
THE PLACE VALUE OF I IS 9
THE PLACE VALUE OF D IS 4
(11 × 9 × 4) × 2
= 2947 × 2 = 594
