In a certain code language, every alphabet is assigned a value from 1 to 26 in alphabetical order (i.e., A = 1, B = 2, ..., Z = 26). According to a specific rule:
The code for the word KLM is 2346
The code for the word HIJ is 1710

Using the same logic, what would be the code for the word DGI?
(a) 1981
(b) 1548
(c) 0888
(d) 0549

Here logic is:
The numeric value of 1st letter is doubled; numeric value of 2nd is kept as it is and again 3rd letter&rsquo;s numeric value is doubled and all 3 values are added in a fashion like
K = 11 so it will become 22
L = 12 so it is 12 only and
M = 13 will become 26
Now added like 22
012
0026
Total ====== 2346
Same will go for HIJ and will become 1710
So DGI will become 888
D = 4------08
G = 7-------07
I = 9--------18
Now add as 08
007
0018
Total = 0888
Hence, option c is correct.
