Question

    In a certain code language, ‘POLITE’ is coded as

    '231', 'FRIEND' is coded as '168'. What is the code for 'CASUAL' in that code language?
    A 173 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 178 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 171 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 161 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The sum of all the place values of the letters as per English alphabetical series is multiplied by '3' to get the coded number. POLITE = 16 + 15 + 12 + 9 + 20 + 5 = 77; 77 x 3 = 231. FRIEND = 6 + 18 + 9 + 5 + 14 + 4 = 56; 56 x 3 = 168. CASUAL = 3 + 1 + 19 + 21 + 1 + 12 = 57; 57 x 3 = 171.
