Question

If A is coded as 11 and BOOK is coded as 83, then how will SEAT be coded as?
1. 85
2. 81
3. 83
4. 87

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : 85

A = 11
BOOK = 83
The code of the letters/words are formed by first adding the position values of all the letters in the words and then adding the resultant to ten times the tens digit of the resultant (if the resultant has only one digit then unit digit in that case).
A(1) + 1 x 10 = 11
B(2) + O(15) + O(15) + K(11) = 43 (in this case the tens digit is 4)
→ 43 + 4 x 10 = 43 + 40 = 83
Similarly,
S(19) + E(5) + A(1) + T(20) = 45 (in this case the tens digit is 4)
→ 45 + 4 x 10 = 45 + 40 = 85

Hence, 85 is the code for the word SEAT.
