    If PIN is coded as ‘117’ and CLAP is coded as

    ‘128’, then what is the code for ‘JOKE? 
    A 124 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 32 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 156 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 164 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 114 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The coding is done as follows: Take the sum of the place value of each letter in the given word and then multiply it with the number of letters in the word. The product is the code of that word. PIN = (16 + 9 + 14) × 3 = 117. CLAP = (3 + 12 + 1 + 16) × 4 = 128 So, code for JOKE = (10 + 15 + 11 + 5) × 4 = 164.
