Question

If ‘CONSTABLE’ is coded as 91, what will be the code number for ‘STABLE’ ?

• A. 97
• B. 59
• C. 79
• D. 75

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To solve the problem, we first need to understand how the word 'CONSTABLE' is coded as 91. This coding likely involves a simple mathematical operation on the letters of the word. We begin by converting each letter to its corresponding position in the alphabet (A=1, B=2, ..., Z=26). Let's find the numeric value for 'CONSTABLE': 

Letter	C	O	N	S	T	A	B	L	E
Value	3	15	14	19	20	1	2	12	5

Step 1: Sum the alphabet positions of each letter in 'CONSTABLE'.

3 + 15 + 14 + 19 + 20 + 1 + 2 + 12 + 5 = 91

The sum is 91, which matches the given code number.

Step 2: Apply the same procedure to the word 'STABLE'.

Letter	S	T	A	B	L	E
Value	19	20	1	2	12	5

Calculate the sum: 19 + 20 + 1 + 2 + 12 + 5 = 59.

The code number for 'STABLE' is therefore 59.
