Question

    In a certain code language, ' SERVICES’ is coded as

    '92' and ' DEMAND' is coded as '35'. How will ' ECONOMY' be coded in that language?
    A 79 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 83 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 99 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 73 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The logic followed here is as follows: The word is coded as the difference between the sum of the place value of all the letters (as per the English Alphabetical series) and the number of letters in the word. SERVICES = (19 + 5 + 18 + 22 + 9 + 3 + 5 + 19) – 8 = 100 – 8 = 92. DEMAND = (4 + 5 + 13 + 1 + 14 + 4) – 6 = 41 – 6 = 35. ECONOMY = (5 + 3 + 15 + 14 + 15 + 13 + 25) – 7 = 90 – 7 = 83.
