Correct Answer: 9


Solution : Given
DUST is coded as 16 and EARTH is coded as 25.

Square the number of letters in DUST, to obtain the required code –
The number of letters in the word DUST = 4; (4) 2 = 16
Thus, DUST is coded as 16.
And, EARTH is coded as 25 –
The number of letters in the word EARTH = 5; (5) 2 = 25
Thus, EARTH is coded as 25.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for MAN –
The number of letters in the word MAN = 3; (3) 2 = 9

Thus, MAN is coded as 9. Hence, the second option is correct.
