Correct Answer: 75
Solution : Given:
PACKET is coded as 62, POST is coded as 74, and FAIR is coded as 38.
Add the number of letters with the positional values of PACKET to obtain the required code –
P (16) + A (1) + C (3) + K (11) + E (5) + T (20) + 6→16 + 1 + 3 + 11 + 5 + 20 + 6 = 62
Thus, PACKET is coded as 62.
And in, POST is coded as 74 –
P (16) + O (15) + S (19) + T (20) + 4→16 + 15 + 19 + 20 + 4 = 74
Thus, POST is coded as 74.
And in, FAIR is coded as 38 –
F (6) + A (1) + I (9) + R (18) + 4→6 + 1 + 9 + 18 + 4 = 38
Similarly, follow the same pattern for PEOPLE –
P (16) + E (5) + O (15) + P (16) + L (12) + E (5) + 6→16 + 5 + 15 + 16 + 12 + 5 + 6 = 75
So, the code for PEOPLE is 75. Hence, the second option is correct.
