Correct Answer: 38
Solution :
Given:
DAM is coded as 50, and PAD is coded as 47.
Subtract 13 from the sum of positional values of the opposite letters of the word DAM, to obtain the required code –
D→W (23); A→Z (26); M→N (14)
= (23 + 26 + 14) – 13 = 50
Thus, DAM is coded as 50.
And, PAD is coded as 47 –
P→K (11); A→Z (26); D→W (23)
= (11 + 26 + 23) – 13 = 47
Thus, PAD is coded as 47.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for MAP –
M→N (14); A→Z (26); P→K (11)
= (14 + 26 + 11) – 13 = 38
So, MAP is coded as 38. Hence, the first option is correct.
