Correct Answer :

Option D

A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I

Solution :

The correct option is A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I.

To understand why this match is correct, let's analyze the coding rule by determining the alphabetical positions (A = 1, B = 2, ..., Z = 26) of the letters in each word.

Let's write down the position values of the letters of the alphabet:
A=1, B=2, C=3, D=4, E=5, F=6, G=7, H=8, I=9, J=10, K=11, L=12, M=13, N=14, O=15, P=16, Q=17, R=18, S=19, T=20, U=21, V=22, W=23, X=24, Y=25, Z=26.

Now, let's calculate the sum of the letter positions for each word in List - I:

1. For Word A: BOLT
The positions of the letters are:
B = 2
O = 15
L = 12
T = 20
Summing these positions:
2 + 15 + 12 + 20 = 49
This matches with III. 49. Hence, A-III.

2. For Word B: RING
The positions of the letters are:
R = 18
I = 9
N = 14
G = 7
Summing these positions:
18 + 9 + 14 + 7 = 48
This matches with IV. 48. Hence, B-IV.

3. For Word C: SOLD
The positions of the letters are:
S = 19
O = 15
L = 12
D = 4
Summing these positions:
19 + 15 + 12 + 4 = 50
This matches with II. 50. Hence, C-II.

4. For Word D: FROM
The positions of the letters are:
F = 6
R = 18
O = 15
M = 13
Summing these positions:
6 + 18 + 15 + 13 = 52
This matches with I. 52. Hence, D-I.

Combining all the matched pairs, we obtain A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I.
