Correct Answer: 17


Solution : Given:
MARS is written as 51 and COLD is written as 34.

Add the position values of the letters of the word to obtain the required code –Position values of the letters of MARS; M→13; A→1; R→18; S→19
Now, add the position values→13 + 1 + 18 + 19 = 51
Thus, MARS is coded as 51.
Likewise, position values of letters of COLD; C→3; O→15; L→12; D→4
Now, add the position values→3 + 15 + 12 + 4 = 34
Thus, COLD is coded as 34.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for ACID; A→1; C→3; I→9; D→4
Now, add the position values→1 + 3 + 9 + 4 = 17

So, ACID is coded as 17. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
