Answer
Correct Answer: 27
Explanation
Introduction / Context:This question uses the standard A1Z26 scheme where A=1, B=2, …, Z=26. A word’s value is the sum of its letter values.
Given Data / Assumptions:
- ACT = 1 + 3 + 20 = 24 (as given).
- We need FAT.
Concept / Approach:Map F, A, and T to their numeric positions, then add them.
Step-by-Step Solution:F = 6A = 1T = 20Sum = 6 + 1 + 20 = 27.
Verification / Alternative check:Cross-check with the provided example methodology (A1Z26), ensuring consistent mapping.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
- All other values are off by 1–3, typical of arithmetic slips.
Common Pitfalls:Using zero-based indexing or misreading T as 19 instead of 20.
Final Answer:27
