Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 8-9-7-8-23-1-25

COUNTRY' is written as ‘3-15-21-14-20-18-25 and ‘PEOPLE’ is written as 16-5-15-16-12-5.

Logic: Positional value of letters

COUNTRY = 3-15-21-14-20-18-25

Similarly,  'HIGHWAY'

H = 8, I = 9, G =7, H = 8, W = 23, A = 1, Y = 25

HIGHWAY= 8-9-7-8-23-1-25

Hence, the correct answer is 8-9-7-8-23-1-25
