Question

If VEGETABLE = 23 and ANIMAL = 39, then ELEPHANT is coded as
CODING DECODING ; NTSE

Answer 1

elephant code is 81

Answer 2

The given structure follows a similar pattern of summation of the even position's alphabet in the word.

For ANIMAL we add N+M+L that means 14+13+12 which gives 39 similarly in VEGETABLE we add E+E+A+L = 5+5+1+12 = 23.

ELEPHANT follows the same trend L+P+A+T=12+16+1+20 that gives 41.

So the answer is 41
