In a certain code language, 'FAN' is written as '63', and 'DEAR' is written as '112'. How will 'BABY' be written in that language?
- A115
- B120
- C130
- D110
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.
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).
