Question

In a particular code, if "RAMAN" is written as 52 and "MAP" is written as 33, then how will you code "CLICK"?

• A. 37
• B. 43
• C. 51
• D. 38

Hint:

When a word's code doesn't match a simple letter-sum, try adding (or multiplying by) the word length—this is a common twist in coding–decoding questions.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Infer the coding rule from the examples.
Convert letters to their alphabetical positions and add the \emph{number of letters}.
For "RAMAN": $R=18,\ A=1,\ M=13,\ A=1,\ N=14$ $\Rightarrow$
sum $=18+1+13+1+14=47$.
Length $=5$ $\Rightarrow$ $47+5=52$ (matches).
For "MAP": $M=13,\ A=1,\ P=16$
$\Rightarrow$ sum $=30$;
length $=3$ $\Rightarrow$ $30+3=33$ (matches). Step 2: Apply the rule to "CLICK".
$C=3,\ L=12,\ I=9,\ C=3,\ K=11$ $\Rightarrow$ sum $=3+12+9+3+11=38$.
Length $=5$ $\Rightarrow$ code $=38+5=\boxed{43}$.
