Correct Answer :

Option A

202217196146

Solution :

The correct option is 202217196146.

To understand how "SUPREME" is coded, let us first analyze the pattern used to code the word "BLOCK" into "31316412".
We begin by writing down the alphabetical position (A = 1, B = 2, ..., Z = 26) of each letter in the word "BLOCK":
B = 2
L = 12
O = 15
C = 3
K = 11

Now, let us add 1 to the numerical position of each letter:
B ⇒ 2 + 1 = 3
L ⇒ 12 + 1 = 13
O ⇒ 15 + 1 = 16
C ⇒ 3 + 1 = 4
K ⇒ 11 + 1 = 12

Combining these modified numbers in order gives: 3, 13, 16, 4, 12, which forms the code 31316412.

Following this same logic, let us find the code for "SUPREME" step-by-step:
First, find the alphabetical positions of each letter in "SUPREME":
S = 19
U = 21
P = 16
R = 18
E = 5
M = 13
E = 5

Next, add 1 to each position:
S ⇒ 19 + 1 = 20
U ⇒ 21 + 1 = 22
P ⇒ 16 + 1 = 17
R ⇒ 18 + 1 = 19
E ⇒ 5 + 1 = 6
M ⇒ 13 + 1 = 14
E ⇒ 5 + 1 = 6

Finally, combining these values in sequence, we get:
20, 22, 17, 19, 6, 14, 6 ⇒ 202217196146.
