Question

If D is coded as 4 and COVER is coded as 63, then BASIS will be coded as?

1. 49
2. 50
3. 54
4. 55
5. 53

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : 50

In the given code, A = 1, B = 2, C = 3 …. so that C O V E R is coded as 3 + 15 + 22 + 5 + 18 = 63. [C + O + V + E + R]

So, in B A S I S, B = 2, A = 1, S = 19, and I = 9. Thus, B A S I S will be coeded as 2 + 1 + 19 + 9 + 19 = 50. 

Hence, BASIS will be coded as 50.
