Question

As part of a fun activity, Ashu is coding the names of some fruits. If APPLE is coded as 10 and CUSTARDAPPLE is coded as 24, what will be the code of PINEAPPLE, if she follows the same pattern?

• A. 14
• B. 16
• C. 18
• D. 9

Answer 1

The correct option is C 18

As APPLE is a five-letter word, its code $\text{is:}5\times 2=10$

Similarly, CUSTARDAPPLE is a twelve-letter word. So, its code is:
$12\times 2=24$

Going by the pattern shown above, PINEAPPLE is a nine-letter word.
So, its code is $9\times 2=18$.
