Correct Answer: 6


Solution : Given:
MAY is coded as 6 and MET is coded as 7.

Add the opposite positional values of the alphabets and if the resultant is of two digits it should be added to obtain the required code.
MAY→M = 14; A = 26; Y = 2; 14 + 26 + 2 = 42; 42 = 4 + 2 = 6
Thus, MAY is coded as 6.
MET→M = 14; E = 22; T = 20; 14 + 22 + 20 = 43; 43 = 4 + 3 = 7
Thus, MET is coded as 7.
Similarly, HIM→H = 19; I = 18; M = 14; 19 + 18 + 14 = 51; 51 = 5 + 1 = 6

So, HIM is coded as 6. Hence, the third option is correct.
