Question : Directions: In a certain code language, RUDE is written as EDUR48. How will SOUP be written in that language?
Option 1: PUPS81
Option 2: PUOS71
Option 3: PUPS71
Option 4: PUOS81
Correct Answer: PUOS71
Solution :
Given:
RUDE is written as EDUR48.
Reverse the letters of a word and then mention the sum of letters at the end –
Reverse the letters of RUDE→EDUR
Position values of letters of RUDE→R = 18; U = 21; D = 4; E = 5
Now, add the position values→18 + 21 + 4 + 5 = 48
Thus, RUDE is coded as EDUR48.
Similarly, following the same pattern for SOUP –
Reverse the letters of SOUP→PUOS
Position values of letters of SOUP→S = 19; O = 15; U = 21; P = 16
Now, add the position values→19 + 15 + 21 + 16 = 71
Thus, SOUP is coded as PUOS71. Hence, the second option is correct.
