Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e 10522957

Understanding Application

Given:

‘AUSTERE’ is coded as ‘13102595’

The logic used here is:

A = 1

U = 21 = 2 + 1 = 3

S = 19 = 1 + 9 = 10

T = 20 = 2 + 0 = 2

E = 5

R = 18 = 1 + 8 = 9

E = 5

Similarly,

Code for the word SETTING:

S = 19 = 1 + 9 = 10

E = 5

T = 20 = 2 + 0 = 2

T = 20 = 2 + 0 = 2

I = 9

N = 14 = 1 + 4 = 5

G = 7

Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.
