Question : Directions: In a certain code language, BYE is coded as 245 and OLA is coded as 265. How will CAR be coded in that language?
Option 1: 280
Option 2: 285
Option 3: 295
Option 4: 300
Correct Answer: 295
Solution :
Given:
BYE is coded as 245 and OLA is coded as 265.
Add the opposite positional values of the alphabet in the given words and then the result is multiplied by 5 to obtain the code.
BYE→Opposite of B is Y(25); Opposite of Y is B(2); Opposite of E is V(22); Now, add the place values→25 + 2 + 22 = 49;Multiply the sum by 5→49 × 5 = 245
OLA→Opposite of O is L(12); Opposite of L is O(15); Opposite of A is Z(26); 12 + 15 + 26 = 53; 53 × 5 = 265
Similarly, CAR→Opposite of C is X(24); Opposite of A is Z(26); Opposite of R is I(9); 24 + 26 + 9 = 59; 59 × 5 = 295
So, CAR will be coded as 295. Hence, the third option is correct.
