In a certain code language, STAR is coded as 55 and CUT is coded as 42. How will 'PEN' be coded as in that language?
Given, STAR is coded as 55 and CUT is coded as 42 in the code language.
The logic here is
S opposite is HÂ $$\longrightarrow\ $$ H = 8
T opposite is GÂ $$\longrightarrow\ $$ G = 7
A opposite is ZÂ $$\longrightarrow\ $$ Z = 26
R opposite is IÂ $$\longrightarrow\ $$ I = 9
STAR $$\longrightarrow\ $$ (8 + 7 + 26 + 9) + 5 = 50 + 5 = 55
CÂ opposite is XÂ $$\longrightarrow\ $$ X = 24
UÂ opposite is FÂ $$\longrightarrow\ $$ F = 6
T opposite is G $$\longrightarrow\ $$ G = 7
CUT $$\longrightarrow\ $$ (24 + 6 + 7) + 5 = 37 + 5 = 42
The code value is the sum of values of opposite letters and 5.
Similarly,
P opposite is KÂ $$\longrightarrow\ $$ K = 11
E opposite is V $$\longrightarrow\ $$ V = 22
N opposite is M $$\longrightarrow\ $$ M = 13
PENÂ $$\longrightarrow\ $$ (11 + 22 + 13) + 5 = 46 + 5 = 51
$$\therefore\ $$PEN is coded as 51 in the code language.
Hence, the correct answer is Option A
