Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Rule: For any word, add the alphabetical positions of its letters (A=1 to Z=26) and then multiply that sum by the number of letters in the word.
GOOD: G(7) + O(15) + O(15) + D(4) = 41 → 41 × 4 = 164
BAD: B(2) + A(1) + D(4) = 7 → 7 × 3 = 21
UGLY: U(21) + G(7) + L(12) + Y(25) = 65 → 65 × 4 = 260
Apply the same rule to the target word:
JUMP: J(10) + U(21) + M(13) + P(16) = 60 → 60 × 4 = 240
Final answer: 240
