Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 4162238321625

Understanding Application

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

Logic: The code of consonants is given by multiplying its numerical position value by 2 and in case of vowels; the numerical position value is multiplied by itself.

MASTER: 26138402536

M – 13 × 2 = 26

A – 1 × 1 = 1

S – 19 × 2 = 38

T – 20 × 2 = 40

E – 5 × 5 = 25

R – 18 × 2 = 36

Hence, the code for BACKSPACE:

B – 2 × 2 = 4

A – 1 × 1 = 1

C – 3 × 2 = 6

K – 11 × 2 = 22

S – 19 × 2 = 38

P – 16 × 2 = 32

A – 1 × 1 = 1

C – 3 × 2 = 6

E – 5 × 5 = 25

The code is – 4162238321625
