Question

If TEN~72 and MEN~ 65,then HAT ~?

Answer 1

A = 1, B = 2, C = 3...... Z = 26

Decode TEN:

T = 20

E = 5

N = 14

TEN = (20 x 1) + (5 x 2) + (14 x 3) = 72

Decode MEN:

M = 13

E = 5

N = 14

MEN = (13 x 1) + (5 x 2) + (14 x 3) = 65

Decode HAT:

H = 8

A = 1

T = 20

HAT + (8 x 1) + (1 x 2) + (20 x 3) = 70

Answer: HAT = 70

Answer 2

Answer : HAT = 70

Explanation :

As we know that, A = 1, B = 2, C = 3...... Z = 26

So,

Alphabetical place of TEN as in numbers :

T = 20

E = 5

N = 14

∴ TEN = (20 x 1) + (5 x 2) + (14 x 3) = 71

Alphabetical place of MEN as in numbers :

M = 13

E = 5

N = 14

∴ MEN = (13 x 1) + (5 x 2) + (14 x 3) = 65

In the same way, alphabetical place of HAT as in numbers :

H = 8

A = 1

T = 20

∴ HAT = (8 x 1) + (1 x 2) + (20 x 3) = 70
