In a code language, if THAT is written as 98, then how will CHANGE be written in the same language?
- A88
- B76
- C70
- D95
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
The code is derived by taking the sum of the positional values of the opposite alphabet letters.
Let's check for THAT:
Opposite of T is G (7)
Opposite of H is S (19)
Opposite of A is Z (26)
Opposite of T is G (7)
Sum: 7+19+26+7=59
To reach 98, let's look at the direct positional sum:
T=20, H=8, A=1, T=20
Sum of forward positions = 20+8+1+20=49
49×2=98
Let's apply the logic (Sum of forward positional values × 2) to CHANGE:
C=3
H=8
A=1
N=14
G=7
E=5
Sum = 3+8+1+14+7+5=38
Code = 38×2=76
