Question

If in a code language, ‘JIYA’ is coded as 180 and ‘NAVAL’ is coded as 250, then how will ‘TANISHA’ be coded in the same code language?

• A. 288
• B. 360
• C. 432
• D. 504

Hint:

In coding questions, check for patterns like sum or position of letters and multiplication based on number of characters.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Let’s find the pattern using the alphabetical positions of the letters: JIYA: J = 10, I = 9, Y = 25, A = 1 Sum = \(10 + 9 + 25 + 1 = 45\) Code = \(45 \times 4 = 180\) NAVAL: N = 14, A = 1, V = 22, A = 1, L = 12 Sum = \(14 + 1 + 22 + 1 + 12 = 50\) Code = \(50 \times 5 = 250\) So the logic: Sum of letter positions \(\times\) number of letters = code Now apply to TANISHA: T = 20, A = 1, N = 14, I = 9, S = 19, H = 8, A = 1 Sum = \(20 + 1 + 14 + 9 + 19 + 8 + 1 = 72\) Letters = 7 Code = \(72 \times 7 = 504\)
