Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 90.

Logic: Add the opposite positional value of alphabets. 

HELLO' is coded as 83

19 + 22 + 15 + 15 + 12 = 83

'SHELL' is coded as 79

8 + 19 + 22 + 15 + 15 = 79

'MATCH' is coded as 90

14 + 26 + 7 + 24 + 19 = 90.
