Question
If 'ARUN' is coded as 54, then how will 'VARUN' be coded?
- A. 87
- B. 67
- C. 76 (Correct answer)
- D. 78
Correct Answer
Option C — 76
Detailed Solution & Explanation
The correct answer is 76.
Key Points
- Coding is based on the sum of alphabetical positions: A(1)+R(18)+U(21)+N(14)=54=ARUN ✓.
- VARUN: V(22)+A(1)+R(18)+U(21)+N(14)=76. The letter V adds 22 to the ARUN total of 54, giving 76.
