In a code language, 'HUGE' is coded as 82 and 'MERCY' is coded as 128. How will 'ASPECT' be coded in the same language?
88
116
128
96
128
Calculate the sum of the positional values of letters (A=1, B=2,..., Z=26) and multiply by 2.
Calculate the sum of the positional values of letters (A=1, B=2,..., Z=26) and multiply by 2.
Calculate Letter Positions
Convert letters to their standard positional values: H=8, U=21, G=7, E=5 (HUGE: 8+21+7+5 = 41); M=13, E=5, R=18, C=3, Y=25 (MERCY: 13+5+18+3+25 = 64).
Apply Multiplier
Observe the pattern: Sum * 2 = Code. HUGE (41 * 2 = 82), MERCY (64 * 2 = 128).
Decode ASPECT
For ASPECT: A(1) + S(19) + P(16) + E(5) + C(3) + T(20) = 64. Applying the pattern: 64 * 2 = 128.
A: 88 is incorrect as the sum 64 multiplied by 2 equals 128; B: 116 does not match the calculated result; D: 96 is incorrect as it ignores the consistent multiplier pattern.
C is correct because the code is derived by summing the positional values of all letters in the word and multiplying the total sum by 2.
In coding-decoding questions, if the resulting number is much larger than the sum of positions, always check for multipliers or additive constants applied to the total sum.
