Question

(c) If LEAP = 34, then LATE = ?
i) 32
ii) 34
iii) 36
iv) 38​

Answer 1

Answer:

it must be 43.

L=12

A=1

T=25

E=5

Answer 2

The correct answer is Option (iv) 38.

i.e., LATE - 38

Explanation:

• Here we are given with the code for LEAP as 34 i.e., LEAP = 34.
• So, the most basic logic which we should apply in such type of mental ability questions is by checking the alphabet numbers.
• We assign A-1, B-2, C-3, and so on till.... Y-25, Z- 26
• In the given word LEAP, the sum of the numbers assigned to the alphabet used to form the word is;

L - 12, E - 5, A - 1, P - 16.

⇒ Sum = 12 + 5 + 1 + 16

i.e., Sum = 34 = RHS

• Now, the logic to the question is decoded and we have to apply the same logic in our question word and find out the answer as follows;

Our Word: LATE

The sum of the numbers assigned to the alphabet used to form 'LATE' is:

L - 12, A - 1, T - 20, E - 5

⇒ Sum = 12 + 1 + 20 + 5

i.e., Sum = 38

Therefore, our required answer is LATE = 38.
