Question : Directions: In a certain code language, SUGAR is coded as 81, and FILL is coded as 51. How will CREAM be coded in that language?
Option 1: 52
Option 2: 60
Option 3: 57
Option 4: 55
Correct Answer: 55
Solution :
Given:
SUGAR is coded as 81, and FILL is coded as 51
Add the positional values of the alphabet and in the sum add the result of the number of letters in the given word multiplied by 3 to obtain the required code.
SUGAR→S(19) + U(21) + G(7) + A(1) + R(18) = 66; 66 + (Number of letter × 3); 66 + (5 × 3) = 81
FILL→F(6) + I(9) + L(12) + L(12) = 39; 39 + (4 × 3) = 51
Similarly, CREAM→C(3) + R(18) + E(5) + A(1) + M(13) = 40; 40 + (5 × 3) = 55
So, CREAM is coded as 55. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
