1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
A B C D E F G H I J K L M
Z Y X W V U T S R Q P O N
26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15

14

 

Understanding Application

 The pattern is the sum of the place value of alphabets in word x 3 = Code Number.

From the ranking of alphabetical order, the rank of D is 4.

D = 4 x 3 = 12

And for AGE = 39 (A = 1 x 3 = 3, G = 7 x 3 = 21, E = 5 x 3 = 15) (3 + 21+ 15 = 39)

 

 

 

Similarly,

For JADE

J = 10 x 3 = 30, A = 1 x 3 = 3, D = 4 x 3 = 12, E = 5 x 3 = 15     

⇒ 30 + 3 + 12 + 15 = 60

Hence, JADE = 60
