Question

    In a code language, ‘colour doppler peripheral’ is

    coded as ‘156’. ‘Peripheral venous carotid’ is coded as ‘269’ and ‘carotid imaging doppler’ is coded as ‘593’. How can ‘peripheral imaging carotid’ be coded in the same coding system?
    A 659 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 593 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 531 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 315 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ‘colour doppler peripheral’ is coded as ‘156’………. (i) ‘peripheral venous carotid’ is coded as ‘269’ ……..(ii) ‘carotid imaging doppler’ is coded as ‘593’……… (iii) From (i) and (ii), code for ‘peripheral’ is 6. From (i) and (ii), code for ‘carotid’ is 9. Now it is clear that the code for ‘imaging’ is 3. So, code for ‘peripheral imaging carotid’ is ‘693’.
