If in a certain coding language A = 26, G = 20, GO = 32 and SOME = 56, then the value of COME will be equal to

A60

B72 ✓ Correct

C48

D36

Correct answer: (B) 72

Explanation

COME has a value of 72.

Each letter scores 27 minus its position in the alphabet.

Check: A = 27 - 1 = 26 and G = 27 - 7 = 20.

COME = C + O + M + E = (27-3) + (27-15) + (27-13) + (27-5).

= 24 + 12 + 14 + 22 = 72.
