Correct Answer: 16


Solution : Given:
The code for ABOVE is 9 and the code for SHINE is 11.

Add the place values of the letters of the words ABOVE and SHINE and then divide the resultant by 5 to get their codes –
ABOVE; A→1; B→2; O→15; V→22; E→5
Add all the place values to get the number; 1 + 2 + 15 + 22 + 5 = 45; 45 ÷ 5 = 9
Thus, ABOVE is coded as 9.
SHINE; S→19; H→8; I→9; N→14; E→5
Add all the place values to get the number; 19 + 8 + 9 + 14 + 5 = 55; 55 ÷ 5 = 11
Thus, SHINE is coded as 11.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for PARTY –
P→16; A→1; R→18; T→20; Y→25
Add all the place values to get the number – 16 + 1 + 18 + 20 + 25 = 80; 80 ÷ 5 = 16

Thus, PARTY is coded as 16. Hence, the second option is correct.
