If PEN is coded as 35 by adding the alphabet positions of its letters, what is the code for CAT?
- A. 24
- B. 26
- C. 27
- D. 23
Explanation
C is 3, A is 1 and T is 20, so the sum is 24. Checking the example, P is 16, E is 5 and N is 14, which sums to 35 and confirms the rule. These questions reward knowing the alphabet positions without having to count from A each time.
