Correct Answer: 35


Solution : Given:
HORSE is coded as 75, and MOVE is coded as 63.

To obtain the code, add two times the total number of letters present in the given word to the sum of its positional value –
H→8, O→15, R→18, S→19, E→5
(8 + 15 + 18 + 19 + 5) + (2 × 5) = 65 + 10 = 75
Thus, HORSE is coded as 75.
And MOVE is coded as 63 –
M→13, O→15, V→22, E→5
(13 + 15 + 22 + 5) + (2 × 4) = 55 + 8 = 63
Similarly, follow the same pattern for RACE –
R→18, A→1, C→3, E→5
(18 + 1 + 3 + 5) + (2 × 4) = 27 + 8 = 35

Thus, RACE is coded as 35. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
