Question

If ATAZ is coded 74 then LATA will be coded as?

Answer 1

Let us try to use the Serial number of each alphabet according to their alphabetic place.

For example, A is at first place so,

ᴀ=1

Alphabet T is at 19th place so,

ᴛ=19

Again alphabet A is at first place so,

ᴀ=1

And the last alphabet Z is at 26th place so,

ᴢ=26

Now if we add the place value of each,

A+T+A+Z

ꜱᴜᴍ=1+19+1+26

=47

But our code is 74, so

Interchanging the digits we have,

ᴀᴛᴀᴢ=74

In the same way,

ʟ=12

ᴀ=1

ᴛ=19

ᴀ=1

ꜱᴜᴍ=12+1+19+1

=33

Interchanging the digits , we have same 33

ʟᴀᴛᴀ=33

Answer: The code for LATA will be 33

Answer 2

LATA will be coded as 50.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

The coding ATAZ = 74

To find, the coding LATA = ?

The pattern follow,

Sum of the position letters + $4^{2}$.

A = 1, T = 20, A = 1 and Z = 26

ATAZ = (1 + 20 + 1 + 26) + $4^{2}$ = 58 + 16 = 74

Similarly,

L = 12, A = 1, T = 20 and A = 1

LATA = (12 + 1 + 20 + 1) +$4^{2}$= 34 + 16 = 50

Hence, LATA will be coded as 50.
