Question

In a code language, if "PLAYER" is coded as '119', then how will "OPTIONS" be coded in the same language?

• A. 150
• B. 121
• C. 131
• D. 141

Hint:

In code language problems, look for patterns based on arithmetic operations involving the positions of letters in the alphabet.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Let's try to find the pattern from the word "PLAYER" being coded as 119. We can add the positions of the letters in the alphabet: - P = 16 - L = 12 - A = 1 - Y = 25 - E = 5 - R = 18 Now, summing these values: \[ 16 + 12 + 1 + 25 + 5 + 18 = 77 \]
Thus, the code for "PLAYER" is 77. To reach 119, we add 42 to this sum. Similarly, for "OPTIONS": - O = 15 - P = 16 - T = 20 - I = 9 - O = 15 - N = 14 - S = 19 Summing these values: \[ 15 + 16 + 20 + 9 + 15 + 14 + 19 = 108 \] Adding 42 to this sum gives: \[ 108 + 42 = 131 \]
Thus, the correct answer is (C) 131.
