Explanation:

Let’s break this down:

- Look at how the letters are coded. For ‘PAYMENT’ (P A Y M E N T) ? 6 10 18 14 11 15 20.

- For ‘JUSTIFY’ (J U S T I F Y) ? 11 14 15 19 15 16 20.

- The trick: Each letter’s code is its position in the alphabet, plus 5. (A=1+5=6, B=2+5=7, etc.)

- So for ‘COMPARE’:

- C (3+5=8)

- O (15+5=20)

- M (13+5=18)

- P (16+5=21)

- A (1+5=6)

- R (18+5=23)

- E (5+5=10)

- Thus, the code is: 8 20 18 21 6 23 10

Now, let’s check the options:

- Option 1: 681013101113 ? This doesn’t match our pattern.

- Option 2: 601811031131 ? Nope, not matching.

- Option 3: 613101113801 ? Not it either.

- Option 4: 680113111103 ? Also no.

Wait, none match exactly. Hold up. But based on code structure—let’s double-check if the code is actually formed letter pairs or just concatenated numbers per letter.

That’s the thing:

If we look at the actual codes given in the question:

- ‘PAYMENT’ (6 10 18 14 11 15 20) written as 6101814111520—just the numbers side by side.

So for ‘COMPARE’ (8 20 18 21 6 23 10) you’d get: 820182162310.

None of the options are that value.

Let’s check if maybe the coding swaps tens and units:

- Option 2: 601811031131

- Option 3: 613101113801, etc.

But none of these match logically.

Here’s what this really means: There is either a mistake in the options given, or a trick in the pattern not obvious from the samples.

The real code for ‘COMPARE’ should be 820182162310, given the pattern from the question. None of your options are a match. If I had to pick, none would be correct. If there’s a typo, that’s on the question, not you.

But if you find another logic for the code (say, if you interpret pairs as different splits), let me know.

But by the logic shown, your answer doesn’t match. Double-check your sources.
