Correct Answer: 184
Solution :
Given:
JAIL is coded as 304, and LAWN is coded as 232.
Add the reverse position value of the letters of the word JAIL and multiply the resultant with the total number of letters, to obtain the required code –
J→17; A→26; I→18; L→15
Now, add the reverse position values and multiply the resultant with the total number of letters –
17 + 26 + 18 + 15 = 76 × 4 = 304
Thus, JAIL is coded as 304.
And, LAWN is coded as 232.
L→15; A→26; W→4; N→13
Now, add the reverse position values and multiply the resultant with the total number of letters –
15 + 26 + 4 + 13 = 58 × 4 = 232
Thus, LAWN is coded as 232.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for NAVY –
N→13; A→26; V→5; Y→2
Now, add the reverse position values and multiply the resultant with the total number of letters –
13 + 26 + 5 + 2 = 46 × 4 = 184
So, NAVY is coded as 184. Hence, the second option is correct.
