In a certain code the numbers are coded as follows: '325' is coded as '105' '436' is coded as '137' and '547' is coded as '169'. What will be the code for 258?

  • A.305
  • B.157
  • C.102
  • D.111

Answer: B

258 is coded as 157.

The code is made of two parts written side by side: the sum of all three digits, followed by the sum of the first two digits.

NumberSum of all digitsSum of first twoCode
325105105
436137137
547169169
258157157

For 258, the digits add to 2 + 5 + 8 = 15 and the first two add to 2 + 5 = 7, giving 157. The other options do not fit the rule that produced all three given codes.
