In a certain code language, 'DOLBY' is coded as '53' and 'STUDENT' is coded as '96'. How will 'GENEVA' be coded in that language?

  1. A
    50
  2. B
    45
  3. C
    60
  4. D
    48

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's find the sum of the positional values of the letters in the English alphabet:
For DOLBY:

D=4

O=15

L=12

B=2

Y=25

Sum=4+15+12+2+25=58

Given code =53, which is Sum−5=58−5=53 (where 5 is the number of letters in 'DOLBY').

For STUDENT:

S=19

T=20

U=21

D=4

E=5

N=14

T=20

Sum=19+20+21+4+5+14+20=103

Given code =96, which is Sum−7=103−7=96 (where 7 is the number of letters in 'STUDENT').

For GENEVA:

G=7

E=5

N=14

E=5

V=22

A=1

Sum=7+5+14+5+22+1=54

Subtracting the number of letters (6):

Code=54−6=48
