Correct answer
354
Why this answer is correct
The logic follows here is:
(Sum of place values of the alphabets of the given word) × (Number of alphabets) = Given code
STOCK
Number of alphabets = 5
(S + T + O + C + K) × 5 = (19 + 20 + 15 + 3 + 11) × 5 = 68 × 5 = 340.
TENT
Number of alphabets = 4
(T + E + N + T) × 4 = (20 + 5 + 14 + 20) × 4 = 59 × 4 = 236.
Similarly,
DOUBLE
Number of alphabets = 6
(D + O + U + B + L + E) × 6 = (4 + 15 + 21 + 2 + 12 + 5) × 6 = 59 × 6 = 354.
Hence, the correct answer is "354".
