Question 29

In a code certain code language, MUSIC is coded as 60 and TUNE is coded as 56. How will LYRIC be coded as in that language ?

Solution

Given, MUSIC is coded as 60 and TUNE is coded as 56 in the code language.

The logic here is

M + U + S + I + C - 5 = 13 + 21 + 19 + 9 + 3 - 5 = 65 - 5 = 60

T + U + N + E - 4 = 12 + 25 + 18 + 9 + 3 - 4 = 60 - 4 = 56

The code value is the difference of sum of the values of the letters and number of letters in the word.

Similarly,

L + Y + R + I + C - 5 = 12 + 25 + 18 + 9 + 3 - 5 = 67 - 5 = 62

$$\therefore\ $$LYRIC is coded as 62 in the code language

Hence, the correct answer is Option A
