Correct Answer: 40
Solution :
Given:
YACHT is coded as 8, and SHALEOD is coded as 24.
Add 1 to the number of vowels present in YATCH and then multiply it by the number of consonants present. Now, subtract 8 from the resultant and then add this resultant to the previous resultant to get the answer –
Number of consonants = 4; Number of vowels = 1
⇒ 4 × (1 + 1) = 4 × 2 = 8; 8 + (8 – 8) = 8 + 0 = 8
Thus, YATCH is coded as 8.
And, SHALEOD is coded as 24 –
Number of consonants = 4; Number of vowels = 3
⇒ 4 × (3 + 1) = 4 × 4 = 16; 16 + (16 – 8) = 16 + 8 = 24
Similarly, follow the same pattern for ANALYSTIC→
Number of consonants = 6; Number of vowels = 3
⇒ 6 × (3 + 1) = 6 × 4 = 24; 24 + (24 – 8) = 24 + 16 = 40
So, SHALEOD is coded as 40. Hence, the first option is correct.
