Question

If in a certain code, $ZIP$ is written as $33$ and $ZAP$ is written as $41,$ then how will $VIP$ be written?

• A. $22$
• B. $26$
• C. $29$
• D. $12$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $29$

According to the alphabetical positions of the letters,
$ZIP=\left[Z\right(26)-I(9)+P(16\left)\right]$
$=26-9+16=33$

$ZAP=\left[Z\right(26)-A(1)+P(16\left)\right]$
$=26-1+16=41$

Similarly,
$VIP=\left[V\right(22)-I(9)+P(16\left)\right]$
$=22-9+16=29$
$\therefore VIP$ will be written as $29.$
