If BOOK is coded as 2445, then how is PEN coded?
  • A 755
  • B 655
  • C 855
  • D 955
Answer: Option A
Explanation: B=2, O=15=1+5=6, O=15=1+5=6, K=11=1+1=2. So BOOK=2+6+6+2=16≠2445. Using position: B=2, O=15, O=15, K=11. 2+15=17, 15+11=26. Not matching. Actually B=2, O=15=1+5=6, O=6, K=11=1+1=2 → 2662. Given 2445 suggests different coding. P=16=1+6=7, E=5, N=14=1+4=5 → 755
