In a certain code language, 'BLUE' is written as '160', and 'RED' is written as '81'. How will 'PINK' be written in that language?
- A200
- B204
- C196
- D208
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's find the sum of alphabetical values and see how it scales to the coded value:
BLUE:
B=2,L=12,U=21,E=5
Sum=2+12+21+5=40
Code=40×4(number of letters)=160
RED:
R=18,E=5,D=4
Sum=18+5+4=27
Code=27×3(number of letters)=81
Applying the same logic to PINK:
P=16,I=9,N=14,K=11
Sum=16+9+14+11=50
Code=50×4(number of letters)=200
BLUE:
B=2,L=12,U=21,E=5
Sum=2+12+21+5=40
Code=40×4(number of letters)=160
RED:
R=18,E=5,D=4
Sum=18+5+4=27
Code=27×3(number of letters)=81
Applying the same logic to PINK:
P=16,I=9,N=14,K=11
Sum=16+9+14+11=50
Code=50×4(number of letters)=200
