If the words given have such values YES=43, NO=25, OR=29, what is the value of MAYBE
Answers
Given data :
YES = 43 ; NO = 25 ; OR = 29
To find :
MAYBE = ?
Solution :
This question falls under the category of reasoning. All you need to find here is a loophole or trick or a reason to get the answer, while the method you adobt should justify all the given data.
Logic behind this sum :
- Given numbering to the letters in an alphabet, starting with A as 1 to the end z = 26.
A=01, B=02, C=03, D=04, E=05,
F=06, G=07, H=08, I=09, J=10,
K=11, L=12, M=13, N=14, O=15,
P=16, Q=17, R=18, S=19, T=20,
U=21, V=22, W=23, X=24, Y=25,
Z=26
- Then, take the word and sum up the corresponding numbering of the letters present in each word.
- Then, find the length of the word (If it is 'YES', length is 3 ; If it is 'OR' ; length is 2), and twice the length.
- Now, Subtract twice the length of the word from the summed value of the word. That's it.
Let us see how it works!
YES = 43 :
Y = 25
E = 05
S = 19
Their sum is 25 + 05 + 19 = 49
Length of 'YES' is 3. Twice of 3 is 3 x 2 = 6
Therefore, the code of 'YES' is 49 - 6 = 43
NO = 25 :
N = 14
O = 15
Their sum is 14 + 15 = 29
Length of 'NO' is 2. Twice of 2 is 2 x 2 = 4
Therefore, the code of 'NO' is 29 - 4 = 25
OR = 29 :
O = 15
R = 18
Their sum is 15 + 18 = 33
Length of 'OR' is 2. Twice of 2 is 2 x 2 = 4
Therefore, the code of 'OR' is 33 - 4 = 29
MAYBE = ?
M = 13
A = 01
Y = 25
B = 02
E = 05
Sum of their corresponding numbers are : 13 + 01 + 25 + 02 + 05 = 46
Length of the word 'MAYBE' is 5. Twice of 5 is : 5 x 2 = 10
Coded value = 46 - 10 = 36
Therefore, the value of MAYBE is 36.
