Answer 1

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. 



Hence : 

South is coded as 27.
