Question:

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?

Options:

67

57

47

69

Correct Answer:

69

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → 69

Step 1: Analyze 'RING'

  • R = 18
  • I = 9
  • N = 14
  • G = 7
  • Sum: $18 + 9 + 14 + 7 = 48$
  • Code given: 50
  • Pattern: $48 + 2 = \mathbf{50}$

Step 2: Verify with 'ROPE'

  • R = 18
  • O = 15
  • P = 16
  • E = 5
  • Sum: $18 + 15 + 16 + 5 = 54$
  • Code given: 56
  • Pattern: $54 + 2 = \mathbf{56}$

The pattern is to sum the alphabetical positions of the letters and then add 2.

Step 3: Calculate the code for 'WEST'

  • W = 23
  • E = 5
  • S = 19
  • T = 20
  • Sum: $23 + 5 + 19 + 20 = 67$
  • Final Code: $67 + 2 = \mathbf{69}$

Correct Option: 69
