Q. If MAN = 182, then CAT = ?
(A) 96
(B) 60
(C) 138
(D) 120
Answer:- (B) 60
Solution:-
Here’s the representation of the English alphabet with corresponding numbers:
A (1), B (2), C (3), D (4), E (5), F (6), G (7), H (8), I (9), J (10), K (11), L (12), M (13), N (14), O (15), P (16), Q (17), R (18), S (19), T (20), U (21), V (22), W (23), X (24), Y (25), Z (26).
- So, M is represented by 13
- A is represented by 1
- N is represented by 14
If we add this number we get, 13 + 1+ 14 = 28
But, if we multiply the number, then we get = 13 × 1 × 14 =182. So, we get the pattern.
Now, we apply it to CAT.
- Since C is represented by 3
- A is represented by 1
- T is represented by 20
Therefore, applying the same rule, CAT = 3 × 1 × 20 = 60
So, the answer is Option(B) 60.
