In a certain code language, 'GEAR' is coded as '16', 'ANT' is coded as '9' and 'HEART' is coded as '25'. How will 'TEAR' be coded in that language?

16

1  2    3    4   5    6   7     8    9  10  11  12  13

 A   B   C    D   E    F   G    H    I    J    K    L   M

 Z   Y    X   W   V    U   T    S    R   Q   P    O   N

26  25  24  23  22  21  20  19  18  17  16  15  14

******************************************************

THE LOGIC FOLLOWED HERE IS:

( NO OF LETTERS IN A WORD )² = CODED WORD

AS

GEAR = 16

NO OF LETTERS  = 4

CODED WORD = 4² = 16

ANT = 9

NO OF LETTERS  = 9

CODED WORD = 3² = 9

HEART = 25

NO OF LETTERS  = 5

CODED WORD = 5² = 9

SIMILARLY

TEAR = ?

NO OF LETTERS  = 4

CODED WORD = 4² = 16

HENCE OPTION 1 IS CORRECT
