In a certain code language, 'TORQ' is coded as '210', and 'HARN' is coded as '123'. How will 'PADM' be coded in that code language?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
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 FOLLOWED HERE IS:
SUM OF THE POSITIONAL VALUE × 3
as
TORQ = 20 + 15 + 18 + 17 = 70
AND 70 × 3 = 210
AND HARN
= 8 + 1 + 18 +1 4
= 41
AND 41 × 3 = 124
SIMILARLY 'PADM'
= 16 + 1 + 4 + 13
= 34
AND
34 × 3 = 102
SO 'PADM' IS CODED AS 102
