    and BOWLED is coded as 6 – 61. How will  FANTASTIC be coded in that language?
    A 6 – 63 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 9 – 93 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 8 – 74 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 5 – 54 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The given word is coded as: A – B, where A = number of letters in the word & B = Sum of positional values of all the letters in the alphabet series. Code for ‘STRIKE’ Number of letters in the word = 6 S = 19 T = 20 R = 18 I = 9 K = 11 E = 5 Sum = 19+20+18+9+11+5 = 82 Code for ‘BOWLED’ Number of letters in the word = 6 B = 2 O = 15 W = 23 L = 12 E = 5 D = 4 Sum = 2+15+23+12+5+4 = 61 Code for ‘FANTASTIC’ Number of letters in the word = 9 F = 6 A = 1 N = 14 T = 20 A = 1 S = 19 T = 20 I = 9 C = 3 Sum = 6+1+14+20+1+19+20+9+3 = 93 Thus, FANTASTIC will be coded as 9 – 93. Hence, the correct answer is (B).
