Question

If 'PEN' = 32, 'PAPER' = 51, then 'DESK' = ?

(A) 35
(B) 40
(C) 80
(D) 10

Why?

Answer 1

D=4
E=5
S=19
K=11
=> D+E+S+K=4+5+19+11
=39
And according to pattern
Value = Total of position Number - Total number of letters
Value = 39-4
=35

Answer 2

Answer:

Answer will be 35 so option (A) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The value of a letter is equal to the place it lies in the alphabet sequence.

2)The value of a complete word is given by total no. of letters in the word subtracted from the sum of value of letters in the word.

So, value desk will be equal to 4+5+19+11-4=35

as value of d=4,value of e=5,value of s=19 and value of k=11.And there are 4 letters in the word desk.
