Question

If ADARSHI is coded as 53, SCHOOL is coded as 66 then the word STUDENT will be coded as :

• A. $90$
• B. $97$
• C. $89$
• D. $96$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $96$

Given, ADARSHI is codded as 53 and SCHOOL is codded as 66.
Clearly, on putting A = 1, B = 2, C = 3 and so on, we have
ADARSHI = A + D + A + R + S + H + I
So, A + D + A + R + S + H + I = 1 + 4 + 1 + 18 + 19 + 8 + 9 = 60
Again, there are 7 letters in the word ADARSHI. Subtract 7 from the sum of numeral position of letters to get the code for ADARSHI.
$⟹$ ADARSHI = 60 - 7 = 53
Similarly, SCHOOL = 72 - 6 = 66
Now, the word STUDENT = (S + T + U + D + E + N + T) - 7
= (19 + 20 + 21 + 4 + 5 + 14 + 20) - 7 = 96
Hence, option (D) is the correct answer.
