- The code is based on assigning a numerical value to each letter: A=1, B=2, C=3, ..., Z=26.

- To find the code for a word, sum the values of its letters and subtract 3.

- Example for 'PAR':

- Values: P=16, A=1, R=18

- Sum: 16 + 1 + 18 = 35

- Code: 35 - 3 = 35

- Example for 'GAT':

- Values: G=7, A=1, T=20

- Sum: 7 + 1 + 20 = 28

- Code: 28 - 3 = 28

- For 'FOM':

- Values: F=6, O=15, M=13

- Sum: 6 + 15 + 13 = 34

- Code: 34 - 3 = 32

- Option:1, 34: Calculation mismatch

- Option:2, 32: Correct calculation

- Option:3, 33: Calculation mismatch

- Option:4, 35: Calculation mismatch

Option:2, 32 is the correct choice.
