Coding NOTES based on NO, NOT, NOTE
Question
If NO is coded as 210, NOT is coded as 4200 and NOTE is coded as 21000, then how is NOTES coded?
Options
399000
420000
440000
630000
Explanation
Convert the letters to their standard alphabetical positions: N=14, O=15, T=20, E=5, S=19. Test mathematical operations. Multiplication is the most likely candidate for such rapidly escalating values: NO = 14 × 15 = 210. NOT = 14 × 15 × 20 = 4200. NOTE = 4200 × 5 = 21000. The coding logic is the continuous product of the alphabetical positional values. To find NOTES, multiply the value of NOTE by the position of S (19): NOTES = 21000 × 19 = 399000.
Answer: (a).
