    ‘20’ and ‘MANUAL’ is coded as ‘50’ then ‘BARREN’ will be coded as ____ in the same code language.
    A 36 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 34 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 32 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 30 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The logic followed here is as follows: (The word is coded as the sum of the positional value of first and last letter as per the English alphabetical order and then multiply the result by 2). FRAUD: Positional value of F is 6; Positional value of D is 4. So, (6 + 4) = 10, (10 × 2) = 20. MANUAL: Positional value of M is 13; Positional value of L is 12. So, (13 + 12) = 25, (25 × 2) = 50. Similarly, BARREN: Positional value of B is 2; Positional value of N is 14. So, (2 + 14) = 16, (16 × 2) = 32.
