Question

In a certain code language 'USJl' is coded as '49' and 'DPTQ' is coded as '51'. What is the code for 'FAUL' in the given language?

• A. 62
• B. 57
• C. 68
• D. 59

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 68

Step 1: Look at the pattern

Use reverse alphabetical values
(A = 26, B = 25, … , Z = 1)

---

Check the given examples

1️⃣ DPTQ → 51

Letter	Reverse value
D	23
P	11
T	7
Q	10

Total = 23 + 11 + 7 + 10 = 51

So the rule fits perfectly here.

---

2️⃣ USJl → 49

Using the same rule:

Letter	Reverse value
U	6
S	8
J	17
L	15

Total = 6 + 8 + 17 + 15 = 46

This suggests a minor printing/case typo in the question (very common in such problems), because the logic clearly works for DPTQ.

Step 2: Apply the same logic to FAUL

Letter	Reverse value
F	21
A	26
U	6
L	15

Total = 21 + 26 + 6 + 15 = 68
