Options:

122

85

61

180

Correct Answer:

180

Explanation:

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;

(adding all the positional values of each letter then multiply by 3)

So,

'RAHUL' is coded as 180,

18+1+8+21+12 x3

=> 180

And,

'POOJA' is coded as 171

16+15+15+10+1 x3

=> 171

Similarly,

 'RAJIV' be coded as ...?

18+1+10+9+22 x3

=> 180
