In a certain code language, 'LOWER' is coded as '186' and 'MULISH' is coded as '320'. How will 'OPTIONAL' be coded in that language?
- A.
546
- B.
564
- C.
465
- D.
456
Answer: Option D
Explanation :
The pattern followed here is:
Sum of the positional values of the opposite alphabets letters × Total number of consonant in word = number.
LOWER → Total number of consonant (L, W, R) in the word is 3.
Opposite alphabets of Given word is OLDVI
Sum of the positional values of the opposite alphabets letters
→ O(15) + L(12) + D(4) + V(22) + I(9) = 15 + 12 + 4 + 22 + 9 = 62
Sum of the positional values of the opposite alphabets letters × Total number of consonant in word = number
62 × 3 = 186
And,
MULISH → Total number of consonant (M, L, S, H) in word is 4.
Opposite alphabets of Given word is NFORHS
Sum of the positional values of the opposite alphabets letters
→ N(14) + F(6) + O(15) + R(18) + H(8) + S(19) = 14 + 6 + 15 + 18 + 8 + 19 = 80
Sum of the positional values of the opposite alphabets letters × Total number of consonant in word = number
80 × 4 = 320
Similarly,
OPTIONAL → Total number of consonant (P, T, N, L) in word is 4.
Opposite alphabets of Given word is LKGRLMZO
Sum of the positional values of the opposite alphabets letters
→ L(12) + K(11) + G(7) + R(18) + L(12) + M(13) + Z(26) + O(15) = 12 + 11 + 7 + 18 + 12 + 13 + 26 + 15 = 114
Sum of the positional values of the opposite alphabets letters × Total number of consonant in word = number
114 × 4 = 456
Hence, option (d).
