A 598268

B 598686

C 578486

D 578888

Answer: B

Explanation:

The pattern followed here is :

Reverse(opposite) of the place values of each letter’s digits are added.

CHANGE ⇒ XSZMTV ⇒ 24 19 26 13 20 22 ⇒ 6108424

MODIFY ⇒ NLWRUB ⇒ 14 12 23 18 21 2 ⇒ 535932
VISUAL ⇒ ERHFZO ⇒ 5 18 8 6 26 15 ⇒ 598686

A 225

B 250

C 240

D 275

Answer: C

Explanation:
Sum of the place values will be multiplied by the number of letters within the word.
WATER ⇒ 23+1+20+5+18 ⇒ 5 × 67 = 335
MILK ⇒ 13+9+12+11 ⇒ 4 × 45 = 180
JUICE ⇒ 10+21+9+3+5 ⇒ 5 × 48 = 240
Hence, option c is the correct answer.

Question 3
