Correct Answer: 74
Solution :
Given:
QUEZAL is coded as 82 and LUCKY is coded as 72.
QUEZAL is coded as 82 –
Positional value of the letters – Q = 17; U = 21; E = 5; Z = 26; A = 1; L = 12
Now, add the positional values – 17 + 21 + 5 + 26 + 1 + 12 = 82
LUCKY is coded as 72 –
Positional value of the letters – L = 12; U = 21; C = 3; K = 11; Y = 25
Now, add the positional values – 12 + 21 + 3 + 11 + 25 = 72
Similarly, follow the same pattern for ADVERSE –
Positional value of the letters – A = 1; D = 4; V = 22; E = 5; R = 18; S = 19; E = 5
Now, add the positional values – 1 + 4 + 22 + 5 + 18 + 19 + 5 = 74
So, ADVERSE is coded as 74. Hence, the third option is correct.
