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.
