Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
The coding pattern is based on the sum of alphabetical positions of each letter (A=1, B=2, ... Z=26).
SCHOOL → S(19)+C(3)+H(8)+O(15)+O(15)+L(12) = 72
Applying same pattern to COLLEGE:
C(3)+O(15)+L(12)+L(12)+E(5)+G(7)+E(5) = 59
Correct Answer = 59 (Option C)
