Question

If ON is coded as 210, DEL is coded as 240, SJR is coded as 3420 and AT İS coded as 20, what would
be the code for BAT?​

Answer 1

Given: 210 stands for ON

           240 stands for DEL

           3420 stands for SJR

           20 stands for AT

To find: The number which can represent BAT

Solution: According to the given problem,

210 means ON, 240 means DEL, 3420 means SJR and 20 means AT.

On observing the pattern we can see that-

For ON, O takes 15th place in the alphabetical order and N takes 14th place.

The value 210 given to ON is the product of 15 and 14

15 x 14 = 210

Similarly, DEL = 4(D's place in alphabetical order) x 5(E's place) x 12(L's place)

                        = 4 x 5 x 12 = 240

Same follows for SJR and AT

Hence, The number for BAT would be

      2(B's place in alphabetical order) x 1(A's place) x 20(T's place)

= 2 x 1 x 20

= 40

Required number to be given to BAT is 40.
