Question

    In a certain code language, ‘FRIEND’ is coded as

    '52', ‘MAGIC’ is coded as '30'. How will be ‘FINE’ coded as in that language?
    A 28 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 22 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 18 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 24 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The logic followed here is as follows, Code = (Sum of the place value of vowels) X Number of consonants For FRIEND → 'I' and 'E' are the vowels in FRIEND. Code = Place value of (I + E) X 3 = (9 + 5) X 4 = 14 X 3 = 42. So, ‘FRIEND’ is coded as '42'. For MAGIC →  'A' and 'I' are the vowels in MAGIC. Code = Place value of (A + I) X 3 = (1 + 9) X 3 = 10 X 3 = 30 So, MAGIC is coded as '30'. For FINE → 'I' and 'E' are vowels in FINE. Code = Place value of (I + E) X 2 = (9 + 5) X 2 = 14 X 2 = 28 So, 'FINE' is coded as '28'
