In a certain code language if FILE is coded as 8, STEP is coded as 15, then what will CROP be coded as?

Correct option is A

Let’s break down the coding pattern for the words "FILE" and "STEP":

• FILE: The positions of the letters in the alphabet are:

  • F = 6

  • I = 9

  • L = 12

  • E = 5

  Adding these together: 6 + 9 + 12 + 5 = 32

  Now, we divide the sum by 4 (since there are 4 letters in the word): 32 ÷ 4 = 8.

• STEP: The positions of the letters in the alphabet are:

  • S = 19

  • T = 20

  • E = 5

  • P = 16

  Adding these together: 19 + 20 + 5 + 16 = 60

  Now, we divide the sum by 4: 60 ÷ 4 = 15.

Now, applying the same rule to CROP:

• CROP: The positions of the letters in the alphabet are:

  • C = 3

  • R = 18

  • O = 15

  • P = 16

  Adding these together: 3 + 18 + 15 + 16 = 52

  Now, we divide the sum by 4: 52 ÷ 4 = 13.
