In a certain code language, ‘FLY’ is written as ‘38’ and ‘NUT’ is written as ‘26’. How will ‘GOD’ be written in that language?
Correct Answer :
55
Solution :
The correct answer is 55.
Logic:
In this code language, the numerical value for each word is obtained by adding the reverse alphabetical positional values (where A = 26, B = 25, ..., Z = 1) of its letters.
The reverse positional value of any letter can be calculated using the relation:
Let's verify this rule with the given words:
1. For ‘FLY’:
Standard positions: F = 6, L = 12, Y = 25
Reverse positions:
F = 27 - 6 = 21
L = 27 - 12 = 15
Y = 27 - 25 = 2
Sum = 21 + 15 + 2 = 38 (Matches the given code)
2. For ‘NUT’:
Standard positions: N = 14, U = 21, T = 20
Reverse positions:
N = 27 - 14 = 13
U = 27 - 21 = 6
T = 27 - 20 = 7
Sum = 13 + 6 + 7 = 26 (Matches the given code)
3. For ‘GOD’:
Standard positions: G = 7, O = 15, D = 4
Reverse positions:
G = 27 - 7 = 20
O = 27 - 15 = 12
D = 27 - 4 = 23
Sum = 20 + 12 + 23 = 55
Thus, ‘GOD’ is written as 55.
