Question

If MADRAS is coded as 56, then CALCUTTA is coded as

Answer 1

Solution

Adding the place value of letters in MADRAS

13+1+4+18+1+19=56

Hence code for CALCUTTA should be

3+1+12+3+21+20+20+1=81

Answer 2

Answer:

The code for Calcutta is 81.

Explanation:

This is a question based on analysis and reasoning.

Here, all the 26 alphabets are coded as 1, 2,3,4,5, and so on the last ‘z’ coded as 26.

The code for M is 13, A is 1, D is 4, R is 18 and S is 19. On adding the numerical codes assigned (M-13 ₊ A-1 ₊D-4₊R-18₊A-1₊S-19) it comes out to be 56.

The same way, adding numerical values of all alphabets in ‘Calcutta’ where C is 3, A is 1, L is 12, U is 21 and T is 20. On adding (3+1+12+3+21+20+20+1) is 81.

So the code for Calcutta is 81.
