Question

    In a certain code language, ‘MEANT’ is coded as '360' and 'CUMIN' is coded as '42'. What will be the code for ‘DEMAND’ in the same language?

    A 18 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 16 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 14 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 28 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The word is coded as the product of the place value of the first letter and the last letter as per the English alphabetical order. For ‘MEANT’, Code = Place value of (M X T) Code = 13 X 20 = 360. So, 'MEANT’ is coded as '360'. For ‘CUMIN’, Code = Place value of (C X N) Code = 3 X 14 Code = 42. So, 'CUMIN' is coded as '42'. Similarly, for ‘DEMAND’, Code = Place value of (D X D) Code = 4 X 4. So, ‘DEMAND’ is coded as = 16.
