Question

in a certain language MONEY is coded as 12 and RIGHT is coded as 6 then what will be the code for SOUTH in that language

Answer 1

Answer:

27

Step-by-step explanation:

The words are coded as follow:

1. Find the numeral equivalent of the letter

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

2. Add the first 3 digits and subtract the last 2 digits

MONEY

M = 13, O =15, N = 14, E = 5, Y = 25

13 + 15 + 14 - 5 - 25 = 12

RIGHT

R = 18, I = 9, G = 7, H = 8, T = 20

18 + 9 + 7 - 8 - 20 = 6

SOUTH

S = 19, O = 15, U = 21, T = 20, H = 8

19 + 15 + 21 - 20 - 8 = 27

Answer: 27

Answer 2

Answer : $\bold{SOUTH \: = \: 27}$



Explanation -

Hint - Find the numeral value of the alphabets then add first 3 numbers and subtract last 2 numbers.

Given :

Money is coded as 12

Right is coded as 6



Finding how the words are coded -

Taking A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, ..........X = 24, Y = 25, Z = 26

M = 13, O = 15, N = 14, E = 5, Y = 25

13 + 15 + 14 - 5 - 25 = 12.

So, Money = 12.



R = 18, I = 9, G = 7, H = 8, T = 20

18 + 9 + 7 - 8 - 20 = 6

So, Right = 6



S = 19, O = 15, U = 21, T = 20, H = 8

19 + 15 + 21 - 20 - 8 = 27.

So, South = 27


Hence :

South is coded as 27.
