In a certain code language, “ARE” is coded as “87”, and “NOT” is coded as “4197”. How will “CAT” be coded in that language?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
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 :
MULTIPLICATION OF PLACE VALUE - 3 = CODE GIVEN
AS
ARE = 1 × 18 × 5 = 90
= 90 - 3 = 87
SIMILARLY
NOT = 14× 15 × 20
4200 - 3 = 4197
SIMILARLY
CAT = 3 + 1 + 20 = 24
24 - 3 = 21
