If in a coding system, SUBSTANCE is coded as 101 and SUPREME is coded as 94, then how will PORTRAIT be coded in the same coding system?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
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 is;
( code = sum of place values - no. of vowels)
So,
SUBSTANCE,
SUBSTANCE= 19+21+2+19+20+1+14+3+5
=> 104 -3(no. of vowels) (U, A, E)
=> 101
Similarly,
PORTRAIT,
PORTRAIT= 16+15+18+20+18+1+9+20
=> 117 - 3 (no. of vowels) (O, A, I)
=> 114
