Question

    In a certain code language, ‘LADDER’ is coded as '32' and ‘SOUTH’ is coded as '11'. How will ‘MOTHER’ be coded in the same coding language?

    A 39 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 36 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 31 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 32 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Sum of all the place value of vowels is subtract from the sum of all the place value of consonants as per English alphabetical order. LADDER → (L + D + D + R) – (A + E) = (12 + 4 + 4 + 18) – (1 + 5) = 38 – 6 = 32. SOUTH → (S +T + H) – (O + U) = (19 + 20 + 8) – (15 + 21) = 47 – 36 = 11. MOTHER → (M + T + H + R) – (O + E) = (13 + 20 + 8 + 18) – (15 + 5) = 59 – 20 = 39.
