Q:

In a certain coding language, iF GO = 32 & SHE = 49 then SOME will be equal to ?

A) 56 B) 58
C) 62 D) 64
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 56

Explanation:

If we count letters till the end of the alphabet including that letter in reverse order then
Here the values are nothing but the values corresponding to the alphabets when taken in a reverse order,i.e,A=26 ,B=25...,Z=1
G = 20 and O = 12 totaling 32
S = 8, H = 19 and E = 22 totaling 49

So
SOME = 8 + 12 + 14 + 22 = 56.
