Correct Answer: 92
Solution :
Given:
ASK is coded as 62 and BYE is coded as 64.
Multiply the sum of the position values of the letters of the word ASK by 2 to get the required code –
A→1; S→19; K→11
⇒ (1 + 19 + 11) × 2 = 31 × 2 = 62
Thus, ASK is coded as 62.
And, BYE is coded as 64 –
B→2; Y→25; E→5
⇒ (2 + 25 + 5) × 2 = 32 × 2 = 64
Thus, BYE is coded as 64.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for CRY –
C→3; R→18; Y→25
⇒ (3 + 18 + 25) × 2 = 46 × 2 = 92
Thus, CRY is coded as 92. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
