Correct Answer: 118


Solution : Given:
FROST is written as 156, and CANDLE is written as 78.

Add the positional value of the letters of FROST and multiply the resultant by 2, to get the required code –
F→6; R→18; O→15; S→19; T→20
6 + 18 + 15 + 19 + 20 = 78
78 × 2 = 156
Thus, FROST is coded as 156.
And, CANDLE is written as 78 –
C→3; A→1; N→14; D →4; L→12; E→5
3 + 1 + 14 + 4 + 12 + 5 = 39
39 × 2 = 78
Thus, CANDLE is coded as 78.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for SCREAM –
S→19; C→3; R→18; E→5; A→1; M→13
19 + 3 + 18 + 5 + 1 + 13 = 59
59 × 2 = 118

Thus, SCREAM is coded as 118. Hence, the third option is correct.
