Show answer & explanation

| Understanding | Application |
|---|---|
|
'BLINK' is coded as '78' Adding the reverse positional values of the letters (Except vowels; the actual positional values of vowels have to be written): 25 + 15 + 9 + 13 + 16 = 78 'PURSE' is coded as '54' Adding the reverse positional values of the letters (Except vowels; the actual positional values of vowels have to be written): 11 + 21 + 9 + 8 + 5 = 54 |
Similarly for 'FIRST': 21 + 9 + 9 = 8 + 7 = 54 |
