If P A L A M could be given the code number 43, what code number can be given to S A N T A C R U Z?

Options:

75

85

120

123

The following table shows the position values of the alphabets:

We can also memorize the alphabets so that we do not do any calculation mistakes and also reduce the time to solve answers: 

P A L A M = 16, 1, 12, 1, 13

When we add all the numbers we get, 16 + 1 + 12 + 1 + 13 = 43.

Similarly, when we add the position values of S A N T A C R U Z, we get: 19 + 1 + 14 + 20 + 1 + 3 + 18 + 21 + 26, we get: 123
