Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 39

Understanding Application

The alphabets from A to Z takes the numerical position value from 1 to 26.

(Sum of numerical position value of all alphabets) + 5 = Given Number

DIG is coded as 25

CUT is coded as 49

DIG = (4 + 9 +7) = 20 + 5 = 25

CUT = (3 + 21 + 20) = 44 + 5 = 49

Similarly,

KICK = (11 + 9 + 3 + 11) = 34 + 5 = 39
