In a certain code language, the word ‘NEWYORK’ is coded as ‘111’. How will the word ‘NEWJERSEY’ be coded in the same code language ?
124
In this code each letter is replaced by its position in the English alphabet (A = 1, B = 2, ..., Z = 26) and the positions are added to give the code number.
Step 1 — Verify with NEWYORK: N(14) + E(5) + W(23) + Y(25) + O(15) + R(18) + K(11) = 111, which matches the given code.
Step 2 — Apply to NEWJERSEY: N(14) + E(5) + W(23) + J(10) + E(5) + R(18) + S(19) + E(5) + Y(25).
Step 3 — Adding: 14 + 5 + 23 = 42; 42 + 10 + 5 = 57; 57 + 18 + 19 = 94; 94 + 5 + 25 = 124.
The totals 126, 122 and 128 would need a different letter value somewhere, which the rule does not allow, so they and the remaining choice do not apply.
124 option is correct.
