Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Key idea: The code for a word is the sum of the alphabetical positions of its letters.
DRAMA → D(4) + R(18) + A(1) + M(13) + A(1) = 37
STAGE → S(19) + T(20) + A(1) + G(7) + E(5) = 52
Apply the same rule to DELHI:
DELHI → D(4) + E(5) + L(12) + H(8) + I(9) = 38
Therefore, the correct code for DELHI is 38.
Note: The earlier solution incorrectly suggested rounding to 39. There is no rounding rule in the provided examples; use the exact sum.
