Answer 1

Answer:

Take base value of A as x

For every increase in alphabet: +1

Therefore for AMBALA:

x + x+12 + x+1 + x + x+11 + x=186

6x + 24=186

Dividing By 6:

x + 4=31

x=27// (i.e. A=27)

For AJMER:

x + x+9 + x+12 + x+4 + x+17

= 5x + 42

= 135 + 42

= 177//

For PART 30, use the same substitution, don't need to calculate each completely just leave it at a (ax + b) form and compare.

Note; For the 5th alphabet, it's x+4, not x+5

Answer 2

Answer:

Ajmer distance will be 177 , by locating on alphabet series and taking x as a base
