Options:

32369538

1618101920

161818101920

3236953840

Correct Answer:

3236953840

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 here;

(consonants place value x2)

(vowels place value coded as a number)

So,

C(3)  x2= 6

H(6)  x2= 12

E(5)     = 5

C(3)  x2= 6

K(11)  x2= 22

And,

S(19)  x2= 38

U(21)     = 21

R(18)  x2= 36

G(7)  x2= 14

E(5)      = 5

Similarly,

P(16)  x2= 32

R(18)  x2= 36

I(9)        = 9

E(5)       = 5

S(19)  x2= 38

T(20)  x2= 40

Thus, 3236953840 is correct.
