Correct Answer :

Option C

305

Solution :

To find the code for the word "LITCHI", let us first analyze the pattern used to code the words "APPLE" and "BERRY" by looking at the alphabetical positions of their letters (where A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, ..., Z = 26).

1. Analyze "APPLE":
The alphabetical positions of the letters in "APPLE" are:
A = 1
P = 16
P = 16
L = 12
E = 5
Now, find the sum of these positions:
1 + 16 + 16 + 12 + 5 = 50
Multiply the sum by 5:
50 * 5 = 250

2. Analyze "BERRY":
The alphabetical positions of the letters in "BERRY" are:
B = 2
E = 5
R = 18
R = 18
Y = 25
Now, find the sum of these positions:
2 + 5 + 18 + 18 + 25 = 68
Multiply the sum by 5:
68 * 5 = 340

3. Apply the same logic to "LITCHI":
The alphabetical positions of the letters in "LITCHI" are:
L = 12
I = 9
T = 20
C = 3
H = 8
I = 9
Now, find the sum of these positions:
12 + 9 + 20 + 3 + 8 + 9 = 61
Multiply the sum by 5:
61 * 5 = 305

Thus, the word "LITCHI" is coded as 305.
