    Question

    In a certain code language, PEN is written as 8. How will PENCIL be written as in that language?

    A.

    17

    B.

    15

    C.

    25

    D.

    14

    Correct option is D

    Logic: The sum of the positional values of each letter and then take the sum of the digits of the result.
    For PEN:
    P = 16, E = 5, N = 14
    Sum of positional values = 16 + 5 + 14 = 35
    Sum of digits of 35 = 3 + 5 = 8
    For PENCIL:
    P = 16, E = 5, N = 14, C = 3, I = 9, L = 12
    Sum of positional values = 16 + 5 + 14 + 3 + 9 + 12 = 59
    Sum of digits of 59 = 5 + 9 = 14
    So, PENCIL is written as 14.
    Correct answer is (d) 14.
