Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option C

36

Solution :

The correct answer is 36.


Step 1: Identify the coding pattern
Each letter of the alphabet is assigned a number based on its position in the English alphabetical order (A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, ..., Z = 26). The code for a word is calculated by adding together the positional values of all its letters.


Step 2: Verify the given examples
For the word 'JAM':
J = 10
A = 1
M = 13
Sum = 10 + 1 + 13 = 24


For the word 'GEL':
G = 7
E = 5
L = 12
Sum = 7 + 5 + 12 = 24


Step 3: Apply the pattern to 'LAW'
L = 12
A = 1
W = 23
Sum = 12 + 1 + 23 = 36


Thus, the word 'LAW' is written as 36.
