Question

In a certain language DELHI is coded 4, PATNA is coded 22. How is ASSAM coded in the language?​

Answer 1

Answer:24

Explanation:

"D" is the 4th letter of the English alphabet

So D=4

Similarly E=5 ,L=12, H=8, I=9

Now we need to add the numbers corresponding to the first three letters and then subtract the numbers corresponding to the last two letters or

4+5+12-(8+9)=4

Similarly for PATNA

P=16, A=1 ,T=20, N=14 ,A=1

Applying the same rule

We get

16+1+20-(14+1)=22

Now for ASSAM

A=1,S=19,S=19,A=1,M=13

1+19+19-(1+13)=24

Based on this logic I believe that 24 is the required answer.

Thank you for the question.

Answer 2

The Assam is coded as B. 24

Explanation:

The word "DELHI" is numbered as:

D = 4 , E = 5, L = 12, H = 8, I = 9

⇒ 4 +5 + 12 - (8 + 9) = 4

The word "PATNA" is numbered as:

⇒ 16 + 1 + 20 - (14 + 1) = 22

The word "ASSAM" is numbered as:

⇒ 1 + 19 + 19 - (1 + 13) = 24
