Question

If MOON is coded as 19 and RED is coded as 9, how would you code SISA in the same code language?

• A. 15
• B. 16
• C. 13
• D. 18

Answer 1

The correct option is B 16

A	B	C	D	E	F	G	H	I	J
1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10

All the alphabets have a position in the alphabetical order. We can easily find the number of each letter by writing down the alphabet and writing numbers in a sequence in front of them.

Now well take the numbers of the words in the question and add them,

MOON

M=13

O=15

O=15

N=14

13+15+15+14=57 on factorising 3×19=57

RED

R=18

E=5

D=4

18+5+4=27 on factorising 3×9=27

SISA

S=19

I=9

S=19

A=1

19+9+19+1=48 on factorising 3× 16=48

We see in MOON and RED is coded by removing 3 from the factor of the sum of the alphanumeric values.

So SISA= 16

So option B is the correct answer.
