Correct Answer: –7


Solution : ​Given:
SAGE is coded as –8, TABS is coded as 0.

Subtract the sum of the place values of the first two letters from the sum of the place values of the last two letters of SAGE, to obtain the required code –
S + A = 19 + 1 = 20; G + E = 7 + 5 = 12
⇒ 12 – 20 = –8
So, SAGE is coded as –8.
And, TABS is coded as 0 –
T + A = 20 + 1 = 21; B + S = 2 + 19 = 21
⇒ 21 – 21 = 0
So, TABS is coded as 0.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for VERB –
V + E = 22 + 5 = 27; R + B = 18 + 2 = 20
⇒ 20 – 27 = –7

So, VERB is coded as –7. Hence, the first option is correct.
