Correct Answer: 35
Solution :
Given:
FLOWER is coded as 85, STARS is coded as 82 and MOON is coded as 61.
Add the position value of each letter of FLOWER and then add the total number of letters present in the given word to the resulting number, to obtain the required code –
F→6; L→12; O→15; W→23; E→5; R→18
6 + 12 + 15 + 23 + 5 + 18 = 79
The number of letters in FLOWER is 6.
So, the code is 79 + 6 = 85
Thus, FLOWER is coded as 85.
And, STARS is coded as 82 –
S→19; T→20; A→1; R→18; S→19
19 + 20 + 1 + 18 + 19 = 77
The number of letters in STARS is 5.
So, the code is 77 + 5 = 82
Thus, STARS is coded as 82.
And, MOON is coded as 61 –
M→13; O→15; O→15; N→14
13 + 15 + 15 + 14 = 57
The number of letters in MOON is 4.
So, the code is 57 + 4 = 61
Thus, MOON is coded as 61.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for PACK –
P→16; A→1; C→3; K→11
16 + 1 + 3 + 11 = 31
The number of letters in PACK is 4
So, the code is 31 + 4 = 35
Thus, PACK is coded as 35. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
