If WATER = 67 and EARTH = 52, then ELEMENT = ?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The logic followed here is the sum of the positional values of the letters in the English alphabet:
• WATER: W (23) + A (1) + T (20) + E (5) + R (18) = 67
• EARTH: E (5) + A (1) + R (18) + T (20) + H (8) = 52
Similarly, for ELEMENT:
E (5) + L (12) + E (5) + M (13) + E (5) + N (14) + T (20) = 74
Therefore, the correct answer is (C) 74.
