B Q E R D U K A P.
If each of the letters in the above series of elements is given a value equivalent to its serial number in the English alphabet, what will be the difference between the sum of the consonants and the sum of the vowels used in the series.

Options

A. 27
B. 41
C. 82
D. 109

Answer

B

Explanation

Sum of the consonants given in the arrangement
= B + Q + R + D + K + P = 2 + 17 + 18 + 4 + 11 + 16 = 68
[`because` According to serial number or position in the English alphabet eg. B = 2]
= E + U + A = 5 + 21 + 1 = 27.
So, the required difference = sum of the consonants - sum of the vowels
= 68 - 27 = 41.
