Question

In a certain code language, ACEG is coded as 16 and BOQT is coded as 54. How will UWIF be coded in the given language?

• A. 60
• B. 75
• C. 59
• D. 57

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 59

Let’s find the pattern.

Convert letters to positions

A=1, B=2, … Z=26

ACEG

A(1), C(3), E(5), G(7)
Sum = (1+3+5+7 = 16)

BOQT

B(2), O(15), Q(17), T(20)
Sum = (2+15+17+20 = 54)

Pattern: Sum of letter positions

Apply to UWIF

U(21), W(23), I(9), F(6)

21 + 23 + 9 + 6 = 59
Final Answer:

59
