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

    ‘162’, ‘PLANTS’ is coded as '164'. What is the code for ‘VERTICAL’ in that code language?
    A 180 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 188 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 184 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 171 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The pattern followed here is as follows: The sum of all the place values of the letters as per English alphabetical series is multiplied by '2' to get the coded number. SERVICE = 19 + 5 + 18 + 22 + 9 + 3 + 5 = 81; 81x 2 = 162. PLANTS = 16 + 12 + 1 + 14 + 20 + 19 = 82; 82 x 2 = 164. VERTICAL = 22 + 5 + 18 + 20 + 9 + 3 + 1 + 12 = 90; 90 x 2 = 180.
