In a certain code language, 'RING' is written as '50', 'ROPE' is written as '56'. What is the code for 'WEST' in that code language?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → 69
Here each word is coded by adding the alphabet positions of its letters (A = 1, B = 2, …, Z = 26) and then adding 2 to the total. The rule is found on the two given words and then applied to WEST.
RING: \(18+9+14+7=48\), and \(48+2=50\), the given code
ROPE: \(18+15+16+5=54\), and \(54+2=56\), the given code
WEST: \(23+5+19+20=67\), so the code is \(67+2=69\)
