In a certain language MET is coded as 32, and MOW is coded as 45. How will RUN be coded in the same language?
- A30
- B50
- C47
- D53
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's find the logic using the positional values of letters in the English alphabet (A=1,B=2,…,Z=26):
MET:
M=13
E=5
T=20
Sum of positions =13+5+20=38
Code =32
Relationship: Sum−6=38−6=32
MOW:
M=13
O=15
W=23
Sum of positions =13+15+23=51
Code =45
Relationship: Sum−6=51−6=45
RUN:
R=18
U=21
N=14
Sum of positions =18+21+14=53
Applying the same logic: Sum−6=53−6=47
Thus, RUN is coded as 47.
