Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e 1912122359.

Understanding Application

The logic used here is:

‘CAUGHT’ is coded as ‘326212087’

C ⇒ 3

A ⇒ Opposite of A = Z = 26

U = 21

G ⇒ Opposite of G = T = 20

H = 8

T⇒ Opposite of T = G = 7

Similarly,

Code for the word SOLDER:

S ⇒ 19

O ⇒ Opposite of O = L = 12

L = 12

D ⇒ Opposite of D = W = 23

E = 5

R ⇒ Opposite of R = I = 9

SOLDER ⇒  19121223519

Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.
