Options:

12186792

81217629

18216972

21671829

Correct Answer:

12186792

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;

(arrange the letters according to the alphabetical series)

So,

REFUSAL--> AEFLRSU

A(1)  x2= 2

E(5)  x2= 10

F(6)  x2= 12

L(12)  (1+2)= 3

R(18)  (1+8)= 9

S(19)  (1+9)= 10

U(21)  (2+1)= 3

Similarly,

PROFIT --> FIOPRT

F(6)  x2= 12

I(9)  x2= 18

O(15)  (1+5)= 6

P(16)  (1+6)= 7

R(18)  (1+8)= 9

T(20)  (2+0)= 2

Thus, 12186792 is correct.
