Question

In a certain code language, 'ZIYJ' is coded as '38' and 'PXBO' is coded as '51'. What is the code for 'VTUC' in the given code language?

• A. 51
• B. 42
• C. 49
• D. 56

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 42

Reverse positions (Z=1, Y=2… A=26)

ZIYJ:
Z(1), I(18), Y(2), J(17)
Sum = 1+18+2+17 = 38

PXBO:
P(11), X(3), B(25), O(12)
Sum = 11+3+25+12 = 51

Now apply to VTUC:

V(5), T(7), U(6), C(24)
Sum = 5 + 7 + 6 + 24 = 42

Answer: 42
