Question : Directions: In a certain code language, FRUCTUS is coded as 108, and SPRINTER is coded as 119. How will MASCULINE be coded in that language?
Option 1: 96
Option 2: 99
Option 3: 97
Option 4: 98
Correct Answer: 97
Solution :
Given:
FRUCTUS is coded as 108 and SPRINTER is coded as 119.
Add the place value of FRUCTUS to obtain the required code –
F→6; R→18; U→21; C→3; T→20; U→21; S→19
6 + 18 + 21 + 3 + 20 + 21 + 19 = 108
Thus, FRUCTUS is coded as 108.
And in, SPRINTER is coded as 119 –
S→19; P→16; R→18; I→9; N→14; T→20; E→5; R→18
19 + 16 + 18 + 9 + 14 + 20 + 5 + 18 = 119
Thus, SPRINTER is coded as 119
Similarly, follow the same pattern for MASCULINE –
M→13; A→1; S→19; C→3; U→21; L→12; I→9; N→14; E→5
13 + 1 + 19 + 3 + 21 + 12 + 9 + 14 + 5 = 97
So, MASCULINE is coded as 97. Hence, the third option is correct.
