Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3, i.e., 152.

Logic: (Add app place value of letters) × 2 

MEAGRE' is coded as '98'

M ⇔ 13, E ⇔ 5, A ⇔ 1, G ⇔ 7, R ⇔ 18, E ⇔ 5

13 + 5 + 1 + 7 + 18 + 5 = 49, 49 ×  2 = 98

Similarly, 'REMOTE' is coded as '152'

R ⇔ 18, E ⇔ 5, M ⇔ 13, O ⇔ 15, T ⇔ 20, E ⇔ 5

18 + 5 + 13 + 15 + 20 + 5 = 76, 76 ×  2 = 152
