Question

    In a certain code language, "PLANE" is coded as 47and

    "TRAIN" is coded as 49. How will "FLIGHT" be coded in that language?
    A 59 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 75 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 44 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 46 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The logic followed is: Code = (Sum of the positional values of consonants) + (Number of letters in the word). For PLANE: Consonants: P (16), L (12), N (14) Sum of consonants: 16 + 12 + 14 = 42 Add the number of letters in the word (5): 42 + 5 = 47 For TRAIN: Consonants: T (20), R (18), N (14) Sum of consonants: 20 + 18 + 14 = 52 Add the number of letters (5): 52 + 5 = 49

    For "FLIGHT"
    Consonants: F (6), L (12), G (7), H (8), T (20)
    Sum of consonants: 6 + 12 + 7 + 8 + 20 = 53
    Add the number of letters (6):
    53 + 6 = 59
    Thus, "FLIGHT" is coded as 59.
