      Question

      In a certain code, if FRESH is coded as 6-36-15-76-40,

      what is the code for STALE?
      A 16-36-3-44-24 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 17-40-3-45-20 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 19-40-3-48-25 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 18-38-5-42-24 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      In this code, each letter is replaced with the letter that comes after it. However, this difference keeps increasing by one for every subsequent letter. This is how it works: FRESH is coded as 6-36-15-76-40 F = 6 x 1 = 6; R = 18 x 2 = 36; E = 5 x 3 = 15; S = 19 x 4 = 76; H = 8 x 5 = 40 Similarly, S = 19 x 1 = 19; T = 20 x 2 = 40; A = 1 x 3 = 3; L = 12 x 4 = 48; E = 5 x 5 = 25 Code for STALE is 19-40-3-48-25. Hence, the correct answer is (C).
