In a certain code language, 'TAKES' is coded as '51', 'LEAVE' is coded as '40'. What is the code for 'TEAM' in that code language?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The sum of position values of all letters in 'TAKES' is 56,
the code is 5 subtracted from this sum i.e. 56 - 5 = 51.
Similarly, the sum of position values for all letters of 'LEAVE' is 45,
the code is 45 - 5 = 40
Thus, the code for 'TEAM' is:
20 + 5 + 1 + 13 = 39
39 - 5 = 34
