Correct Answer: 6, 3, 1, 9


Solution : Given:
FLED is coded as 4, 10, 3, 2, and GOAT is coded as 5, 13, 25, 18.

Subtract 2 from the place value of the letters of FLED, to obtain the required code –
F→6 – 2 = 4; L→12 – 2 = 10; E→5 – 2 = 3; D→4 – 2 = 2
Thus, FLED is coded as 4, 10, 3, 2.
And, GOAT is coded as 5, 13, 25, 18 –
G→7 – 2 = 5; O→15 – 2 = 13; A→1 – 2 = 25; T→20 – 2 = 18
Thus, GOAT is coded as 5, 13, 25, 18.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for HECK→
H→8 – 2 = 6; E→5 – 2 = 3; C→3 – 2 = 1; K→11 – 2 = 9

So, HECK is coded as 6, 3, 1, 9. Hence, the third option is correct.
