Correct Answer: 125
Solution :
Given:
PEPPER is coded as 76; CUCUMBER is coded as 86.
Add the positional values of the letters of PEPPER to obtain the required code –
P→16; E→5; P→16; P→16; E→5; R→18
⇒ 16 + 5 + 16 + 16 + 5 + 18 = 76
Thus, PEPPER is coded as 76.
And, CUCUMBER is coded as 86 –
C→3; U→21; C→3; U→21; M→13; B→2; E→5; R→18
⇒ 3 + 21 + 3 + 21 + 13 + 2 + 5 + 18 = 86
Thus, CUCUMBER is coded as 86.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for CAULIFLOWER→
C→3; A→1; U→21; L→12; I→9; F→6; L→12; O→15; W→23; E→5; R→18
⇒ 3 + 1 + 21 + 12 + 9 + 6 + 12 + 15 + 23 + 5 + 18 = 125
So, CAULIFLOWER is coded as 125. Hence, the first option is correct.
