In a certain code language, ‘D’ is coded as ‘16’, ‘B’ is coded as ‘4’ and ‘T’ is coded as ‘400’. How will ‘H’ be coded in the same language?
Correct Answer :
64
Solution :
The correct option is 64.
To find the code for the letter 'H', let's analyze the pattern by determining the standard alphabetical positions of the given letters (where A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, ..., Z = 26):
1. 'D' is coded as '16':
The alphabetical position of D is 4.
2. 'B' is coded as '4':
The alphabetical position of B is 2.
3. 'T' is coded as '400':
The alphabetical position of T is 20.
We can see that the logic used here is squaring the numerical position of each letter in the English alphabet.
Applying this logic to find the code for 'H':
The alphabetical position of H is 8.
Therefore, 'H' will be coded as 64 in the same language.
