In a certain code language, 'FAN' is written as '63', and 'DEAR' is written as '112'. How will 'BABY' be written in that language?

  1. A
    115
  2. B
    120
  3. C
    130
  4. D
    110

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's find the numerical transformation logic by looking at positional values:
FAN → 63

Positional values: F = 6, A = 1, N = 14

Sum of positions = 6+1+14=21

Notice that 21×3=63. (Here, 3 is the number of letters in FAN).

DEAR → 112

Positional values: D = 4, E = 5, A = 1, R = 18

Sum of positions = 4+5+1+18=28

Multiply by the number of letters (4): 28×4=112.
Mathway

This perfectly confirms the logic: (Sum of positional values) × (Number of letters).

Now let's compute the value for BABY:

Positional values: B = 2, A = 1, B = 2, Y = 25

Sum of positions = 2+1+2+25=30

Number of letters = 4

Result = 30×4=120.
