Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 1212523

The logic followed here is:

GREAT is coded as 2015187

Consider the alphabetical positions of the letters and reverse the order.

In the English alphabet, GREAT will be numbered 7, 18, 5, 1, 20. Reversing it gives us 2015187.

Similarly, WORK is coded as 11181523. 

In the English alphabet, WORK will be numbered 23, 15, 18, 11. Reversing it gives us 11181523.

Similarly, GOING' is coded as '7149157'.

In the English alphabet, WORK will be numbered 7, 15, 9, 14, 7. Reversing it gives us 7149157.

Finally, WELL will be coded as -

In the English alphabet, WORK will be numbered 23, 5, 12, 12. Reversing it gives us 1212523.

Hence, 1212523 is the correct answer.
