Question

    In a certain code, if REJOICE is coded as 331517, what is the code for HARMONY?

    A 271839 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 261745 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 251543 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 271354 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The code pattern is: Sum of positional value of 1st three alphabets – Positional value of 4th letter – Sum of positional value of last three alphabets   REJOICE is coded as 331517   R E J → 18 + 5 + 10 = 33; O = 15; I C E = 9 + 3 + 5 = 17   Similarly, H A R   →   8 + 1 + 18 = 27; M   →   13; O N Y   →   15 + 14 + 25 = 54   The code for HARMONY is 271354. Hence, the correct answer is (D).
