Question

If BAD is coded as $7$, HIS as $9$ , LOW will be coded as

• A. $50$
• B. $8$
• C. $23$
• D. $5$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $5$

The coded number is the sum of number digits signifying the position of the alphabet in the natural order.
B A D
$\downarrow \downarrow \downarrow$
2nd 1st 4th i.e., 2 + 1 + 4 = 7
Similarly,
H I S
$\downarrow \downarrow \downarrow$
8th 9th 19th i.e., 8 + 9 + 19 = 36
further, 3 + 6 = 9
Also,
L O W
$\downarrow \downarrow \downarrow$
12th 15th 23rd i.e., 12 + 15 + 23 = 50
further, 5 + 0 = 5
Hence, LOW will be coded as 5.
