Question

    In a certain code language, "BOND" is coded as 24 and

    "PLANT" is coded as 67. How will "SMART" 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 BOND : Consonants: B (2), N (14), D (4) Sum: 2 + 14 + 4 = 20 Add number of letters (4): 20 + 4 = 24 For PLANT:
    Consonants: P (16), L (12), N (14), T (20) Sum: 16 + 12 + 14 + 20 = 62 Add number of letters (5): 62 + 5 = 67
    For SMART:
    Consonants: S (19), M (13), R (18), T (20) Sum: 19 + 13 + 18 + 20 = 70 Add number of letters (5): 70 + 5 = 75 Thus, "SMART" is coded as 75.
