Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

To solve this coding problem, we must identify the pattern relating the words to their numeric values.

Analysis of the Pattern
F = 6: The letter F is the 6th letter of the alphabet.

JOY = 50:

J is the 10th letter.

O is the 15th letter.

Y is the 25th letter.

Summing these: 10 + 15 + 25 = 50.

Pattern Identified: The value of the word is the sum of the alphabetical positions of its letters.

Calculating the Code for 'OBSERVE'
Now, apply the same pattern to 'OBSERVE':

O: 15

B: 2

S: 19

E: 5

R: 18

V: 22

E: 5

Summing the positions:
15 + 2 + 19 + 5 + 18 + 22 + 5 = 86.
