Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Key idea: The code number is the sum of the alphabetical positions of the letters (A = 1, B = 2, …, Z = 26).
Verify with PALAM: P = 16, A = 1, L = 12, A = 1, M = 13 → 16 + 1 + 12 + 1 + 13 = 43, which matches the given code.
Compute for SANTACRUZ: S = 19, A = 1, N = 14, T = 20, A = 1, C = 3, R = 18, U = 21, Z = 26 → 19 + 1 + 14 + 20 + 1 + 3 + 18 + 21 + 26 = 123
Answer: 123
