Question

In a certain code language VAX is coded as 45 and SIN is coded as 24. How WON coded in that code
language?
(1) 22
(2) 23
(3) 21
(4) 25​

Answer 1

WON coded in that code  language is 22.

Explanation:

We are given that in a certain code language VAX is coded as 45 and SIN is coded as 24.

• Firstly, we will understand how VAX is coded as 45;

V  ⇒  22nd letter in alphabet

A  ⇒  1st letter in alphabet

X  ⇒  24th letter in alphabet

Now, if we add position of V and X and subtract position of A from it , we get code of 45, that is;

  ⇒ 22 + 24 - 1 = 45

• Similarly, we will understand how SIN is coded as 24;

S  ⇒  19th letter in alphabet

I  ⇒  9th letter in alphabet

N  ⇒  14th letter in alphabet

Now, if we add position of S and N and subtract position of I from it , we get code of 24, that is;

  ⇒ 19 + 14 - 9 = 24

Now, WON coded in that code  language will be;

W  ⇒  23rd letter in alphabet

O  ⇒  15th letter in alphabet

N  ⇒  14th letter in alphabet

Now, if we add position of W and N and subtract position of O from it , we get code of;

  ⇒ 23 + 14 - 15 = 22
