Correct Answer: 136
Solution :
Given:
CURSOR is written as 564 and BOY is written as 126.
Multiply the number of letters with the sum of the positional value of CURSOR, to get the required code –
C→3; U→21; R→18; S→19; O→15, R→18
(3 + 21 + 18 + 19 + 15 + 18) × 6 = 94 × 6 = 564
Thus, CURSOR is coded as 564.
And in, BOY is written as 126 –
B→2; O→15; Y→25
(2 + 15 + 25) × 3 = 126
Thus, BOY is coded as 126.
Similarly, by following the same pattern for FREE –
F→6; R→18; E→5; E → 5
(6 + 18 + 5 + 5) × 4 = 34 × 4 = 136
Thus, FREE is coded as 136. Hence, the third option is correct.
