In a certain code, 'LEARNING' is written as '160'. How will 'PREPARATION' be written in that code?
- A248
- B124
- C266
- D133
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's first determine the positional values of the letters of the word 'LEARNING' in the alphabetical order:
L=12
E=5
A=1
R=18
N=14
I=9
N=14
G=7
Summing these standard positional values:
Sum=12+5+1+18+14+9+14+7=80
Given code for LEARNING is 160. We can observe that:
80×2=160
Now, let's apply the same logic to the word 'PREPARATION':
Let's find the positional values of its constituent letters:
P=16
R=18
E=5
P=16
A=1
T=20
I=9
O=15
N=14
Summing these values:
Sum=16+18+5+16+1+18+1+20+9+15+14=133
Multiplying the total sum by 2 as per the logic:
Code=133×2=266
L=12
E=5
A=1
R=18
N=14
I=9
N=14
G=7
Summing these standard positional values:
Sum=12+5+1+18+14+9+14+7=80
Given code for LEARNING is 160. We can observe that:
80×2=160
Now, let's apply the same logic to the word 'PREPARATION':
Let's find the positional values of its constituent letters:
P=16
R=18
E=5
P=16
A=1
T=20
I=9
O=15
N=14
Summing these values:
Sum=16+18+5+16+1+18+1+20+9+15+14=133
Multiplying the total sum by 2 as per the logic:
Code=133×2=266
