66. If NO is coded as 210, NOT is coded as 4200 and NOTE is coded as 21000, then how is NOTES coded?
- A. 399000
- B. 420000
- C. 440000
- D. 630000
Answer: A
Explanation
Let’s analyze the pattern using the alphabetical position of letters (A=1, B=2, …, Z=26).
* N = 14, O = 15
NO = 14 × 15 = 210. This matches the given code.
* N = 14, O = 15, T = 20
NOT = 14 × 15 × 20 = 210 × 20 = 4200. This matches the given code.
* N = 14, O = 15, T = 20, E = 5
NOTE = 14 × 15 × 20 × 5 = 4200 × 5 = 21000. This matches the given code.
The pattern is to multiply the alphabetical positions of the letters in the word.
Now, apply this to NOTES:
N = 14, O = 15, T = 20, E = 5, S = 19
NOTES = 14 × 15 × 20 × 5 × 19
We already calculated NOTE = 21000.
So, NOTES = 21000 × 19 = 399000.
This question tests pattern recognition in coding-decoding, a standard reasoning aptitude.
