Question 50

In a certain code language, 'POINT' is coded as '11', and 'GRANDST' is coded as '11'. How will 'HEMANT' be coded in that language?

Solution

First, the sum of the place values of the letters within the word is done. After that, the digit sum of the obtained number will be done.

POINT ==> P+O+I+N+T ==> 16+15+9+14+20 = 74 ==> (7+4) = 11

GRANDST ==> G+R+A+N+D+S+T ==> 7+18+1+14+4+19+20 = 83 ==> (8+3) = 11

HEMANT ==> H+E+M+A+N+T ==> 8+5+13+1+14+20 = 61 ==> (6+1) = 7

So 'HEMANT' will be coded as '7' in that language.
