Multiple choice general knowledge math & puzzles

If 'KEY BOARD' is decoded as '3V5C' and 'CATHEDROL' is decoded as '3V6C'. Then 'HUMAN BODIES ' is decoded as:

  1. '3V 7C'

  2. '3V 8C'

  3. '4V 7C'

  4. '5V 6C'

D Correct answer
Explanation

The pattern counts consonants (V) and total letters (C): KEY BOARD has 3 consonants and 8 letters (decoded as 3V 8C, but option says 3V 5C for just 'KEY'), CATHEDROL has 3 consonants and 8 letters (decoded as 3V 8C, but option says 3V 6C). HUMAN BODIES has 5 consonants (H, M, N, B, D, S) and 11 letters total, but the pattern gives 5V 6C for 'BODIES'. The pattern appears to count consonants as V and total letters as C.

AI explanation

The code counts vowels (V) and consonants (C) in the combined letters, treating Y as a consonant: KEY BOARD has 3 vowels and 5 consonants ('3V5C'), and CATHEDROL has 3 vowels and 6 consonants ('3V6C'). Applying the same count to HUMAN BODIES (vowels U, A, O, I, E = 5; consonants H, M, N, B, D, S = 6) gives '5V 6C'.
