If FEED is coded as 47, TREE is coded as 91, what will be the code number for MEET?
Answers
Answer:
118
Explanation:
FEED is coded as 47 and TREE is coded as 91
F →6, E →5, E →5, D →4
6×1+5×2+5×3+4×4=6+10+15+16=47. So, code for FEED is 47.
T →20, R →18, E →5, E →5 and 20×1+18×2+5×3+5×4=20+36+15+20=91.
Similarly, M →13, E →5, E →5, T →20
13×1+5×2+5×3+20×4=13+10+15+80=118.
Hence, MEET is coded as 118.
"MEET" can be represented as 118.
Given: FEED is represented as 47
TREE is represented as 91
To Find: Representation for "MEET"
Solution:
From the English alphabet, we can see that
F is the 6th letter, E = 5, and D = 4
If we multiply the position of the first letter in the word FEED by 1, the position of the second letter by 2 and so on we get
6x1 + 5x2 + 5x3 + 4x4
6 + 10 + 15 + 16
47
So FEED can be represented as 47
Similarly for TREE
T = 20, R = 18 , E = 5
TREE = 20x1 + 18x2 + 5x3 + 5x4
= 20 + 36 + 15 + 20
= 91
For "MEET",
M = 13, E = 5, T = 20
"MEET "= 13x1 + 5x2 + 5x3 + 20x4
= 13 + 10 + 15 + 80
= 118
Therefore, "MEET" can be represented as 118.
