    '240', and 'LEADER' is coded as '186'. What is the code for 'BRIGHT' in that code language?
    A 192 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 180 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 193 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 189 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The sum of all the place values of the letters as per the English alphabetical series is multiplied by '3' to get the coded number. MASTER = 13 + 1 + 19 + 20 + 5 + 18 = 76; 76 × 3 = 228 LEADER = 12 + 5 + 1 + 4 + 5 + 18 = 45; 45 × 3 = 135 BRIGHT = 2 + 18 + 9 + 7 + 8 + 20 = 64; 64 × 3 = 192 Thus, the code for BRIGHT is 192.
