In a certain code language, TRY is coded as 21 and SAGE is coded as 8. How will COURAGE be coded in the same language?

- Let's check the code pattern for TRY and SAGE:

- TRY: T(20) + R(18) + Y(25) = 20 + 18 + 25 = 63 ? 6 + 3 = 9 (but code given is 21)

- SAGE: S(19) + A(1) + G(7) + E(5) = 19 + 1 + 7 + 5 = 32 ? 3 + 2 = 5 (but code given is 8)

- Let’s try another possible pattern like multiplying the number of letters:

- TRY: 3 letters. 20 x 18 x 25 = 9000 (doesn't fit).

- Try letter positions added and then divided by number of letters:

- TRY: 63 / 3 = 21 (code is 21)

- SAGE: 32 / 4 = 8 (code is 8)

- Apply it to COURAGE:

- C(3) + O(15) + U(21) + R(18) + A(1) + G(7) + E(5) = 70

- Number of letters: 7

- 70 / 7 = 10

- So, COURAGE is coded as 10.

Option analysis:

- Option 1: 17 – Incorrect

- Option 2: 10 – Correct

- Option 3: 7 – Incorrect

- Option 4: 70 – Incorrect

Correct Option: Option 2, 10
