Question

In a certain code language, 'ABOLISHED' is coded as '3'. How is 'XANTHOPIA' written in that code language?
1. 4
2. 8
3. 9
4. 10
5. 3

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : 9

ABOLISHED = 3

Consider A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, D = 4 and so on...

A + B + O + L + I + S + H + E + D

= 1 + 2 + 15 + 12 + 9 + 19 + 8 + 5 + 4

= 75

= 7 + 5 = 12

= 1 + 2 = 3

Similarly,

X + A + N + T + H + O + P + I + A

= 24 + 1 + 14 + 20 + 8 + 15 + 16 + 9 + 1

= 108

= 1 + 8 = 9

Implies XANTHOPIA = 9 

Hence the correct answer is 9.
