Options:

94

112

102

86

Correct Answer:

102

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

26  25  24  23  22  21  20  19  18  17  16  15  14

***********************************************

THE LOGIC FOLLOWED HERE IS:

SUM OF THE POSITIONAL VALUE × 3

as

TORQ = 20 + 15 +  18 +  17 = 70

AND 70 × 3 = 210

AND HARN

= 8 + 1 + 18  +1 4

= 41

AND 41 × 3 = 124

SIMILARLY 'PADM'

= 16 + 1  +  4   + 13

= 34

AND

34 × 3 =  102

SO 'PADM' IS CODED AS 102
