Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Correct answer: 60
Explanation:
Assign numerical positions to letters: A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, …, T = 20, …, Z = 26.
Rule: The code is the product of the letters' positions.
Verify given examples: For the word AT, A×T = 1×20 = 20, which matches the first given code.
For the word BAT, B×A×T = 2×1×20 = 40, which matches the second given code.
Apply the rule to CAT: C×A×T = 3×1×20 = 60. Therefore the code for CAT is 60.
