This question involves a coding language where words are represented by a sequence of numbers. The goal is to decipher the pattern used to code the words 'HONOR' and 'PLEAD' and then apply this pattern to find the code for the word 'LOCK'.

Decoding the Coding Pattern

Let's analyze the first example: 'HONOR' is coded as 16-30-28-30-36.

We need to find a relationship between the letters of 'HONOR' and the numbers 16, 30, 28, 30, 36. A common method in these types of puzzles is to use the position of the letters in the English alphabet (A=1, B=2, ..., Z=26).

The positions of the letters in 'HONOR' are:

• H = 8
• O = 15
• N = 14
• O = 15
• R = 18

Now, let's see how these positions relate to the given code numbers:

• For H (8): $8 \times 2 = 16$
• For O (15): $15 \times 2 = 30$
• For N (14): $14 \times 2 = 28$
• For O (15): $15 \times 2 = 30$
• For R (18): $18 \times 2 = 36$

The pattern appears to be multiplying the alphabetical position of each letter by 2.

Verifying the Pattern with 'PLEAD'

Let's check if this pattern holds for the second example: 'PLEAD' is coded as 32-24-10-2-8.

The positions of the letters in 'PLEAD' are:

• P = 16
• L = 12
• E = 5
• A = 1
• D = 4

Applying the pattern (position $\times$ 2):

• For P (16): $16 \times 2 = 32$
• For L (12): $12 \times 2 = 24$
• For E (5): $5 \times 2 = 10$
• For A (1): $1 \times 2 = 2$
• For D (4): $4 \times 2 = 8$

The calculated codes (32-24-10-2-8) match the given code for 'PLEAD'. This confirms our identified pattern.

Applying the Pattern to 'LOCK'

Now we apply the same pattern (alphabetical position $\times$ 2) to the word 'LOCK'.

First, find the alphabetical positions of the letters in 'LOCK':

• L = 12
• O = 15
• C = 3
• K = 11

Next, multiply each position by 2:

• For L (12): $12 \times 2 = 24$
• For O (15): $15 \times 2 = 30$
• For C (3): $3 \times 2 = 6$
• For K (11): $11 \times 2 = 22$

Combining these numbers, the code for 'LOCK' is 24-30-6-22.

Final Coded Value

The word 'LOCK' will be coded as 24-30-6-22 in this specific coding language.
