Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 21-16-7-18-3.
POET is coded as 14-13-3-18
| P | O | E | T |
| 16 | 15 | 5 | 20 |
| 16-2=14 | 15-2=13 | 5-2=3 | 20-2= 18 |
SOON is coded as 17 -13 -13 -12
| S | O | O | N |
| 19 | 15 | 15 | 14 |
| 19-2=17 | 15-2=13 | 15-2=13 | 14-2=12 |
WRITE is coded as 21-16-7-18-3
| W | R | I | T | E |
| 23 | 18 | 9 | 20 | 5 |
| 23-2=21 | 18-2=16 | 9-2=7 | 20-2=18 | 5-2=3 |
