Question

If apple is coded as 17735 and cow is coded as 365, then what is the code of orange ? select one:

a. 691575

b. 576876

c. 575691

d. 678953

Answer 1

Answer:

a. 691575

Explanation:

• APPLE is coded as 17735. Here, a is the first letter of the alphabet, hence A = 1. P is the 16th letter so P is given (1+6) = 7. Similarly, L is the 12th letter and so is assigned the number 3 as the sum of its digits is 3. Similarly, E = 5.
• By similar logic we can see that COW is coded as 365
• In ORANGE, O is the 15th letter, so O = 6. Similarly we can find numbers for other letters. R = 9, A = 1, N = 5, G = 7 and E = 5.
• Thus orange is coded as 691575, option a.
