Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 138.
The logic used here is:
‘PARENT’ is written as ‘148’
PARENT = 16 + 1 + 18 + 5 + 14 + 20 = 74
PARENT = 74 × 2 = 148
‘WRANGLE’ is written as ‘160’
WRANGLE = 23 + 18 + 1 + 14 + 7 + 12 + 5 = 80
WRANGLE = 80 × 2 = 160
Similarly;
Code for the word GRANTED:
GRANTED = 7 + 18 + 1 + 14 + 20 + 5 + 4 = 69
GRANTED = 69 × 2 = 138
Hence, 138 is the correct answer.
