The correct answer is
122

Decoding the Coding Pattern

This question involves a coding logic puzzle where words are represented by numbers. We need to figure out the rule used to convert 'NOISE' to 124 and 'WILD' to 96, and then apply this same rule to find the code for 'GIVER'.

Finding the Coding Logic

The most common method for these types of problems is to use the alphabetical positions of the letters (A=1, B=2, ..., Z=26).

Analyzing 'NOISE'

  • N is the 14th letter.
  • O is the 15th letter.
  • I is the 9th letter.
  • S is the 19th letter.
  • E is the 5th letter.

Let's sum these positions:

Sum = 14 + 15 + 9 + 19 + 5 = 62

The code given is 124. Notice that $62 \times 2 = 124$. This suggests the rule might be: (Sum of alphabetical positions) $\times 2$.

Verifying with 'WILD'

Let's check if this rule holds for 'WILD'.

  • W is the 23rd letter.
  • I is the 9th letter.
  • L is the 12th letter.
  • D is the 4th letter.

Summing the positions:

Sum = 23 + 9 + 12 + 4 = 48

Applying the potential rule (multiply by 2):

$48 \times 2 = 96$

This matches the given code for 'WILD'. So, the logic is confirmed: Sum the alphabetical positions of the letters in the word and multiply the sum by 2.

Applying the Logic to 'GIVER'

Now, we apply the confirmed rule to the word 'GIVER'.

  • G is the 7th letter.
  • I is the 9th letter.
  • V is the 22nd letter.
  • E is the 5th letter.
  • R is the 18th letter.

Calculate the sum of these positions:

Sum = 7 + 9 + 22 + 5 + 18 = 61

Finally, multiply the sum by 2 to get the code:

Code = $61 \times 2 = 122$

Therefore, 'GIVER' will be coded as 122.
