If in a certain code, GO = 32 and SHE = 49, then how will you code SOME?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → 56
The code is the sum of the letters’ positions counted from the end of the alphabet (Z = 1, Y = 2, ..., A = 26), that is, 27 minus the usual position. The two given words show the rule:
GO: G = 27 − 7 = 20, O = 27 − 15 = 12, and \(20+12=32\)
SHE: S = 8, H = 19, E = 22, and \(8+19+22=49\)
Applying it to SOME:
S = 8, O = 12, M = 14, E = 22
\(8+12+14+22=\) 56
