144

Let’s break down the coding pattern for the words:

- ‘SALT’: 4 letters, code is 16. 16 = 4 × 4.

- ‘PICKLE’: 6 letters, code is 36. 36 = 6 × 6.

- So, the code is the square of the number of letters in the word.

Now, let’s apply this to ‘PRESERVATIVE’:

- ‘PRESERVATIVE’ has 12 letters.

- 12 × 12 = 144
