In a certain code language, 'RING' is written as '50', 'ROPE' is written as ' 56'. What is the code for ' WEST' in that code language?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

The code is based on the sum of alphabetical positions of letters, with an adjustment.

Finding the alphabetical positions:

For RING:

R = 18, I = 9, N = 14, G = 7

Sum = 18+9+14+7=4818 + 9 + 14 + 7 = 48

Code for RING = 50


For ROPE:

R = 18, O = 15, P = 16, E = 5

Sum = 18+15+16+5=5418 + 15 + 16 + 5 = 54

Code for ROPE = 56


Pattern: The code equals the sum of alphabetical positions plus 2.

RING: 48+2=5048 + 2 = 50 ✓

ROPE: 54+2=5654 + 2 = 56 ✓


For WEST:

W = 23, E = 5, S = 19, T = 20

Sum = 23+5+19+20=6723 + 5 + 19 + 20 = 67

Code for WEST = 67+2=6967 + 2 = 69

Therefore, the code for 'WEST' is 69.
