In a certain code language, BUG is coded as 24 and TWO is coded as 52. What is the code for ONE in that language?

  1. A
    32
  2. B
    28
  3. C
    33
  4. D
    27

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's look at the positional values of the letters in the English alphabet from right to left (opposite/reverse positional values where A=26,…,Z=1):
The formula for reverse position is: Reverse Position=27−Forward Position.

BUG:

B→27−2=25

U→27−21=6

G→27−7=20

Sum of reverse positions =25+6+20=51

This doesn't directly give 24. Let's try forward positions instead:

B=2,U=21,G=7→2+21+7=30.

Relationship: 30−6=24.

Let's check TWO with forward positions:

T=20,W=23,O=15→20+23+15=58.

Relationship: 58−6=52.

The logic is: Code=(Sum of forward alphabet positions)−6.

ONE:

O=15

N=14

E=5

Sum of positions =15+14+5=34

Applying the logic: 34−6=28.

Thus, ONE is coded as 28.
