Question

If 'ARUN' is coded as 54, then how will 'VARUN' be coded?

  1. A. 87
  2. B. 67
  3. C. 76 (Correct answer)
  4. 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.
