In a certain code language, 'ESTATE' is written as '80', 'FAMOUS' is written as '85'. How will 'FOREST' be written in that language?

Question

Accepted Answer

Let’s try to decode the pattern by examining the given examples:

**Step 1: Find the sum of the positions of the letters in the alphabet.**
- ESTATE: E(5) + S(19) + T(20) + A(1) + T(20) + E(5) = 5 + 19 + 20 + 1 + 20 + 5 = **70**
- FAMOUS: F(6) + A(1) + M(13) + O(15) + U(21) + S(19) = 6 + 1 + 13 + 15 + 21 + 19 = **75**

**Step 2: Compare the sum to the code.**
- ESTATE: 70 → 80 (difference = 10)
- FAMOUS: 75 → 85 (difference = 10)

So, the code is the sum of the letter values **plus 10**.

**Step 3: Apply the same logic to FOREST.**
- F(6) + O(15) + R(18) + E(5) + S(19) + T(20) = 6 + 15 + 18 + 5 + 19 + 20 = **83**
- Add 10: 83 + 10 = **93**

Therefore, 'FOREST' will be coded as **93**.

**Thus, the correct answer is option 1.**
