correct answer is: option b (48)
Explanation: The code assigns numerical values to letters based on their position in the alphabet. M is the 13th letter, so M = 13. MAT = 13 + 1 + 20 = 34. Therefore, to find the code for WAX, we add the numerical positions of W, A, and X: W (23rd letter), A (1st letter), and X (24th letter). So, WAX = 23 + 1 + 24 = 48.
- Option a: 45 is incorrect because it doesn't accurately sum the positions of W, A, and X in the alphabet.
- Option b: 48 is correct as W(23) + A(1) + X(24) = 48
- Option c: 50 is incorrect; it's not the result of summing the correct positional values.
- Option d: 44 is incorrect as the correct sum is 48.
