Question 166

If each of the letters in the English alphabet is assigned odd numerical value beginning A = 1, B = 3 and so on, what will be the total value of the letters of the word "INDIAN" ?

Solution

Each of the letters in the English alphabet is assigned odd numerical value beginning A = 1, B = 3 and so on

=> $$n^{th}$$ letter in English alphabet is changed to = $$(2 n - 1)$$

Original Values of word INDIAN = 9,14,4,9,1,14

Thus, changing these values to odd values, new values are

= (2*9 - 1) , (2*14 - 1) , (2*4 - 1) , (2*9 - 1) , (2*1 - 1) , (2*14 - 1)

$$\therefore$$ Sum = 17 + 27 + 7 + 17 + 1 + 27 = 96

=> Ans - (A)
