Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e 1-32-48-48-25.

Logic: The positional values of the given letters are multiplied by their serial number in the given word. 

M = 13 × 1 = 13,  A = 1 × 2  = 2,  N = 14 × 3  = 42, G  = 7 × 4 = 28, O = 15 × 5 = 75

Similarly, A= 1 × 1 = 1, P = 16 × 2 = 32, P = 16 × 3 = 48, L = 12 × 4 = 48, E = 5 × 5 = 25

APPLE = 1-32-48-48-25
