Question

    If 'MEANT' is coded as '34', 'TAKER' is coded as '49',

    then what is the code for ‘SWEAR’ in the same code language?
    A 38 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 42 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 49 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 41 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The logic followed here is: The sum of the place value of the 1st, the 3rd and the 5th letters of the word from the left end is the code of the given word as per the English alphabetical series. For ‘MEANT’ → (13 + 1 + 20) = 34 . So, ‘MEANT’ is coded as '34'. For ‘TAKER’ → (20 + 11 + 18) = 49. So, ‘TAKER’ is coded as '49'. For ‘SWEAR’ → (19 + 5 + 18) = 42. So, ‘KETTLE’ is coded as '42'.
