Correct Answer: 32-2-32-10-36


Solution : Given:
CHALK is coded as 6-16-2-24-22, and BOARD is coded as 4-30-2-36-8.

Multiply the positional value of each letter of CHALK by 2, to obtain the required code –
C→3 × 2 = 6, H→8 × 2 = 16, A→1 × 2 = 2, L→12 × 2 = 24, K→11 × 2 = 22
Thus, CHALK is coded as 6-16-2-24-22.
And BOARD is coded as 4-30-2-36-8 –
B→2 × 2 = 4, O→15 × 2 = 30, A→1 × 2 = 2, R→18 × 2 = 36, D→4 × 2 = 8
Thus BOARD is coded as 4-30-2-36-8.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for PAPER –
P→16 × 2 = 32, A→1 × 2 = 2, P→16 × 2 = 32, E→5 × 2 = 10, R→18 × 2 = 36

Thus, PAPER is coded as 32-2-32-10-36. Hence, the second option is correct.
