Question : Directions: In a certain code language, BOOK is written as 325, and READ is written as 400. How will ABLE be written in that language?
Option 1: 445
Option 2: 440
Option 3: 442
Option 4: 438
Correct Answer: 440
Solution :
Given:
The code for BOOK is 325 and the code for READ is 400.
Add the place value of the opposite letters of BOOK and multiply the resultant by 5, to get the required code –
The opposite letters of the letters of BOOK; B→Y; O→L; O→L; K→P
Place values of Y→25; L→12; L→12; P→16
BOOK→(25 + 12 + 12 + 16) × 5 = 325
Thus, BOOK is coded as 325.
And, READ is coded as 400 –
The opposite letters of the letters READ; R→I; E→V; A→Z; D→W
Place value of I→9; V→22; Z→26; W→23
READ→(9 + 22 + 26 + 23) × 5 = 400
Thus, READ is coded as 400.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for ABLE;
The opposite letters of the letters ABLE; A→Z; B→Y; L→O; E→V
Place value of Z→26; Y→25; O→15; V→22
ABLE→(26 + 25 + 15 + 22) × 5 = 440
Thus, ABLE is coded as 440. Hence, the second option is correct.
