Correct Answer: 14


Solution : Given:
PINK is coded as 25, and HEAR is coded as 16.

The sum of the positional values of the alphabet is divided by 2 to obtain the required code.
PINK→16 + 9 + 14 + 11 = 50; 50 ÷ 2 = 25
Thus, PINK is coded as 25.
HEAR→8 + 5 + 1 + 18 = 32; 32 ÷ 2 = 18
Thus, HEAR is coded as 18.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for FAIL→6 + 1 + 9 + 12 = 28; 28 ÷ 2 = 14

So, FAIL is coded as 14. Hence, the second option is correct.
