Correct Answer: 78

Solution : Given:
BABY is coded as 29, and GENDER is coded as 52.

Add the positional value of the letters of the word BABY and subtract one from the resultant to obtain the required code –
B→2, A→1, B→2, Y→25
(2 + 1 + 2 + 25) – 1 = 30 – 1 = 29
Thus, BABY is coded as 29.
And GENDER is coded as 52 –
G→7, E→5, N→14, D→4, E→5, R→18
(7 + 5 + 14 + 4 + 5 + 18) – 1 = 53 – 1 = 52
Thus, GENDER is coded as 52.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for CRIPPLE –
C→3, R→18, I→9, P→16, P→16, L→12, E→5
(3 + 18 + 9 + 16 + 16 + 12 + 5) – 1 = 79 – 1 = 78

Thus, CRIPPLE is coded as 78. Hence, the third option is correct.
