Question

In a certain code language, 'SEQUENCE' is coded as '35'. How is 'FAVORITE' written in that code language?
1. 30
2. 96
3. 15
4. 6
5. 8

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 5 : 8

SEQUENCE = 35

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

S + E + Q + U = 19 + 5 + 17 + 21 

= 62

E + N + C + E = 5 + 14 + 3 + 5

= 27

now, difference = 62 - 27

= 35

Similarly, 

F + A + V + O

= 6 + 1 + 22 + 15

= 44

R + I + T + E

= 18 + 9 + 20 + 5

= 52

now, difference = 52 - 44

= 8

Implies FAVORITE = 8

Hence the correct answer is 8.
