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
Solution: 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 reverse order,i.e,

A=26 ,B=25...,Z=1G = 20 and O = 12 totaling 32S = 8, H = 19 and E = 22 totaling 49

So,

 SOME = 8 + 12 + 14 + 22 = 56.
The correct answer is: A) 56
