In a certain code language, 'CROW' is coded as 177, and 'EAGLE' is coded as 90. How will 'DOVE' be coded in that language?
- A117
- B142
- C138
- D92
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's find the sum of standard alphabetical positions (A=1, B=2, ..., Z=26) and their opposite values (27 - position) for each word.
For CROW:
C = 3, R = 18, O = 15, W = 23
Sum=3+18+15+23=59
Given code is 177. Notice that 59×3=177. (Note: 3 could be related to the number of consonants or a multiplier).
Let's check with EAGLE:
E = 5, A = 1, G = 7, L = 12, E = 5
Sum=5+1+7+12+5=30
Given code is 90. Notice that 30×3=90.
The consistent rule is: (Sum of forward positional values)×3.
Now let's apply this rule to DOVE:
D = 4, O = 15, V = 22, E = 5
Sum=4+15+22+5=46
Final Code=46×3=138
