Question : 12 of 99

Marks: +1, -0

If BD = 8 and AGE = 35, then how will you code CAKE?

Solution:

Concept:

Each letter is replaced by its position in the English alphabet, and the code is the product of these positions.

Explanation:

Write the alphabet values:

A=1

B=2

C=3

D=4

E=5

G=7

K=11

For

BD

, multiply positions:

B \times D = 2 \times 4 = 8

For

AGE

, multiply positions:

A \times G \times E = 1 \times 7 \times 5 = 35

This confirms the rule.

Now code

CAKE

: use

C=3

A=1

K=11

E=5

So,

C \times A \times K \times E = 3 \times 1 \times 11 \times 5

Calculate:

3 \times 1 = 3

, then

3 \times 11 = 33

, then

33 \times 5 = 165

Thus

CAKE

is coded as

165

Answer:

165

, which matches option B.
