In a certain code language, 'CAN' is written as '63', and 'TWO' is written as '23'. How will 'USE' be written in that language?

  1. A
    33
  2. B
    43
  3. C
    51
  4. D
    36

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's find the numerical pattern using the alphabet positional values:
For CAN:

Forward positions: C=3,A=1,N=14⟹3+1+14=18

Opposite positions: C=24,A=26,N=13⟹24+26+13=63
This perfectly matches the code '63'.

Let's verify this logic with TWO:

Opposite positions: T→G(7),W→D(4),O→L(12)

Sum of opposite positions = 7+4+12=23
This perfectly matches the code '23'.

Now, applying the same logic for USE:

Opposite positions: U→F(6),S→H(8),E→V(22)

Sum of opposite positions = 6+8+22=36

Therefore, 'USE' will be written as 36.
