If the code for PEN is 40 and the code for BUDDHA is 45, then what is the code for ALGEBRA?
Answer
Correct Answer : b ) 51
Explanation :Let us assume A is numbered as 1, B as 2, and so on until Z is numbered 26.
The pattern followed by the given words is that the numerical value of the word is 5 more than the sum of numerical values corresponding to each alphabet
According to the question,
Code for PEN is 40
⇒ PEN = (16 + 5 + 14) + 5 = 35 + 5 = 40
Similarly, Code for BUDDHA = (2 + 21 + 4 + 4 + 8 + 1) + 5
⇒ BUDDHA = 40 + 5 = 45
Thus, code for ALGEBRA will be
⇒ ALGEBRA = (1 + 12 + 7 + 5 + 2 + 18 + 1) + 5 = 46 + 5 = 51
Hence, (b) is the correct answer.
Such type of question is aksed in various competitive exams like SSC CGL, SSC CHSL, RRB NTPC, etc.
