Correct Answer: 204
Solution :
Given:
YEAH is coded as 207, and BULK is coded as 186.
Add the reverse position value of the letters of the word YEAH, then multiply the resultant number by 3, to obtain the required code –
Y→2; E→22; A→26; H→19
Now, add the reverse position value of the word YEAH, then multiply the resultant number by 3 –
2 + 22 + 26 + 19 = 69 × 3 = 207
Thus, YEAH is coded as 207.
And, BULK is coded as 186 –
B→25; U→6; L→15; K→16
Now, add the reverse position value of the word BULK, then multiply the resultant number by 3 –
25 + 6 + 15 + 16 = 62 × 3 = 186
Thus, BULK is coded as 186.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for CORD →
C→24; O→12; R→9; D→23
Now, add the reverse position value of the word CORD, then multiply the resultant number by 3 –
24 + 12 + 9 + 23 = 68 × 3 = 204
Thus, CORD is coded as 204. Hence, the first option is correct.
