Explanation:

Let’s break this down. The word ‘LAMP’ is coded as ‘2422632’. To figure out how ‘FORK’ is coded, we need to see how this mapping works.

- First, look at the letters in LAMP and their positions in the alphabet:

- L = 12

- A = 1

- M = 13

- P = 16

- Now, match those with ‘2422632’

- Notice the code has 7 digits, while LAMP has 4 letters.

- Maybe each letter maps to two digits, except somewhere there's a single digit.

Here’s what happens if you split ‘2422632’:

- 2 4 | 2 | 26 | 32

- L A M P

- L=12, code=24 (12 × 2)

- A=1, code=2 (1 × 2)

- M=13, code=26 (13 × 2)

- P=16, code=32 (16 × 2)

So, they simply double each letter's position in the alphabet. Easy.

Let’s apply this pattern to FORK:

- F = 6 × 2 = 12

- O = 15 × 2 = 30

- R = 18 × 2 = 36

- K = 11 × 2 = 22

So, the code should be: 12 30 36 22

Let’s match it to your options:

1. 12302624

2. 12303622

3. 12303424

4. 12303422

Option 2 is the only one that fits: 12 30 36 22.
