Correct Answer: 36


Solution : Given:
BOTTLE is coded as 74, and PERSON is coded as 81.

Add the positional values of the alphabet of BOTTLE and in the resultant add the positional value of the first and the last alphabet of the given word to obtain the required code –
B→2; O→15; T→20; T→20; L→12; E→2
2 + 15 + 20 + 20 + 12 + 5 = 74⇒74 + 2 + 5 = 81
PERSON is coded as 81 –
P→16; E→5; R→18; S→19; O→15; N→14
16 + 5 + 18 + 19 + 15 + 14 = 87⇒87 + 16 + 14 = 117
Similarly, follows the same pattern for BANANA→
B→2; A→1; N→14; A→1; N→14; A→1
2 + 1 + 14 + 1 + 14 + 1 = 33; 33 + 2 + 1 = 36

So, BANANA will be coded as 36. Hence, the second option is correct .
