Question 42

In a certain code language, 'ADULT' is coded as '53' and 'LACK' is coded as '23'. How will 'HEAVEN' be coded in that language?

Solution

The number of letters within the word is subtracted from the sum of the place values of the letters within the word.

ADULT ==>A+D+U+L+T-5 ==> 1+4+21+12+20-5 = 53

LACK ==> L+A+C+K-4 ==> 12+1+3+11-4 = 23

HEAVEN ==> H+E+A+V+E+N-6 ==> 8+5+1+22+5+14-6 = 49

'HEAVEN' will be coded as '49' in that language.
