Options:

2417

3461

2415

2420

Correct Answer:

2417

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;

 LOOK is coded as 2330;

L(12) O(15) O(15) K(11)

So, add 12+11= 23 and 15+15= 30

2330

And,

BALL is coded as 1413;

B(2) A(1) L(12) L(12)

So, add 2+12= 14 and 1+12= 13

1413

Similarly,

Help....?

H(8) E(5) L(12) 16)

So, add 8+16= 24 and 5+12= 17

Thus, 2417 is correct.
