In a certain code language, "KIT" is written as "39" and "KAT" is written as "31". How is "MIX" written in that code language? Correct Answer 45

The code used here is one less than sum of the unit digits of the word i.e.

KIT → K = 11, I = 9, T = 20 → (11 + 9 + 20) - 1 = 40 - 1 = 39.

KAT → K = 11, A = 1, T = 20 → (11 + 1 + 20) - 1 = 32 - 1 = 31.

Similarly,

MIX → M = 13, I = 9, X = 24 → (13 + 9 + 24) - 1 = 46 - 1 = 45.

Thus, 45 is the correct alternative.
