Correct Answer :

Option A

108

Solution :

The correct option is 108.

To find the code for "SEC", let's first decode the logic used for the given words "MAP" and "ROT".

Logic:
1. Find the reverse alphabetical positional value for each letter in the word (where A = 26, B = 25, ..., Z = 1). The reverse position of a letter can be calculated as:
Reverse Position=27-Forward Position
2. Calculate the sum of these reverse positional values.
3. Multiply the sum by 2 to get the coded value.

1. Let's verify the logic with "MAP":
- The forward positions are: M = 13, A = 1, P = 16
- Their corresponding reverse positions are:
M: 27 - 13 = 14
A: 27 - 1 = 26
P: 27 - 16 = 11
- Sum of reverse positional values:
14+26+11=51
- Code value:
51×2=102
This matches the given code for MAP.

2. Let's verify the logic with "ROT":
- The forward positions are: R = 18, O = 15, T = 20
- Their corresponding reverse positions are:
R: 27 - 18 = 9
O: 27 - 15 = 12
T: 27 - 20 = 7
- Sum of reverse positional values:
9+12+7=28
- Code value:
28×2=56
This matches the given code for ROT.

3. Now, let's calculate the code for "SEC" using the same logic:
- The forward positions are: S = 19, E = 5, C = 3
- Their corresponding reverse positions are:
S: 27 - 19 = 8
E: 27 - 5 = 22
C: 27 - 3 = 24
- Sum of reverse positional values:
8+22+24=54
- Code value:
54×2=108

Therefore, "SEC" will be written as 108 in that language.
