If CHIKU = 20 and BRINJAL = 42, what is the value of PINEAPPLE?a)50b)72c)44d)69e)41Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Question

Answer

The logic here is that the number of letters in the word is multiplied by 1 less than the count.
The word “CHIKU” has 5 letters.
It is coded as 5 x 4 = 20.
Similarly, the word “BRINJAL” has 7 letters, hence coded as 7 x 6 = 42. Using the same logic, “PINEAPPLE” is coded as 9 x 8 = 72.
Hence, option 2.

Answer

CHIKU = 20 (5 LETTERS)
5*4 = 20

BRINJAL = 42 (7 LETTERS)
7*6 = 42

PINEAPPLE = ? (9 LETTERS)

IF U NOTICE VERTICAL, THE DIFFERENCE IS 2, SO

5*4 = 20
7*6 = 42
9*8 = 72.

Ans: 72.

Answer

To find the value of PINEAPPLE, we need to understand the logic behind the given values for CHIKU and BRINJAL. Let's break down the words and their corresponding values:

CHIKU = 20
BRINJAL = 42

Now, let's analyze the letters in these words and their positions in the English alphabet:

C = 3
H = 8
I = 9
K = 11
U = 21

B = 2
R = 18
I = 9
N = 14
J = 10
A = 1
L = 12

From the given values, we can observe that the value for each word is the sum of the positions of its letters in the English alphabet.

Now, let's apply the same logic to the word PINEAPPLE:

P = 16
I = 9
N = 14
E = 5
A = 1
P = 16
P = 16
L = 12
E = 5

To find the value of PINEAPPLE, we sum the positions of its letters in the English alphabet:

16 + 9 + 14 + 5 + 1 + 16 + 16 + 12 + 5 = 94

Therefore, the value of PINEAPPLE is 94.

However, none of the given options match the value of 94. Therefore, the correct answer is not among the provided options.
