    Question

    In a certain code language, FASHION is coded as 26 – 8

    – 38, and ILLEGAL is coded as 33 – 5 – 20. How will IMPROVE be coded in that language?
    A 24 – 8 – 32 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 38 – 18 – 42 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 42 – 18 – 30 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 34 – 12 – 28 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The logic followed here is:   Sum of first three alphabets positional value – 4th alphabet positional value – Sum of last three alphabets positional value   FASHION is coded as 26 – 8 – 38   FAS = F(6) + A(1) + S(19) = 26; H = 8; ION = I(9) + O(15) + N(14) = 38   ILLEGAL is coded as 33 – 5 – 20   ILL = I(9) + L(12) + L(12) = 33; E = 5; GAL = G(7) + A(1) + L(12) = 20   Similarly, IMPROVE will be coded as:   IMP = I(9) + M(13) + P(16) = 38; R = 18; OVE = O(15) + V(22) + E(5) = 42   Thus, IMPROVE will be coded as 38 – 18 – 42. Hence, the correct answer is (B).
