If M = 13, ATE = 26 and DARE = 28 , then STUPENDOUS = ?
Correct Answer
A. 154
Explanation
In this question, each letter is assigned a numerical value based on its position in the alphabet (A=1, B=2, etc.). The given examples show that the numerical value of a word is equal to the sum of the numerical values of its letters. For example, M=13, A=1, T=20, E=5, so ATE=26. Similarly, D=4, A=1, R=18, E=5, so DARE=28. Applying the same logic to the word STUPENDOUS, we get S=19, T=20, U=21, P=16, E=5, N=14, D=4, O=15, U=21, S=19. Adding these values together gives us 154, which is the correct answer.
