Question : Directions: In a certain code language, BOOK is coded as 47, and PEN is coded as 38. How will NOTEPAD be coded in that language?
Option 1: 84
Option 2: 82
Option 3: 75
Option 4: 80
Correct Answer: 82
Solution :
Given:
BOOK is coded as 47, and PEN is coded as 38.
Add the positional value of the alphabets and the number of the alphabets of the given word to obtain a code.
BOOK→2 + 15 + 15 + 11 = 47; 43 + 4 = 47
PEN→16 + 5 + 14 + 3 = 35; 35 + 3 = 38
Similarly, NOTEPAD→14 + 15 + 20 + 5 + 16 + 1 + 4 = 75; 75 + 7 = 82
So, NOTEPAD is coded as 82. Hence, the second option is correct.
