Analyze FRIAR
The word FRIAR has 5 letters. Multiplying the number of letters by 4 gives 5 * 4 = 20.
Analyze FREEDOM
The word FREEDOM has 7 letters. Multiplying the number of letters by 4 gives 7 * 4 = 28.
Calculate FARROW
The word FARROW has 6 letters. Multiplying the number of letters by 4 gives 6 * 4 = 24.
A: 17 is incorrect because 6 times 4 is not 17. B: 18 is incorrect because 6 times 4 is not 18. D: 22 is incorrect because 6 times 4 is not 22.
C is correct because the coding logic follows the pattern (number of letters in the word) multiplied by 4, and FARROW contains 6 letters, resulting in 6 * 4 = 24.
In coding-decoding questions, if positional sums do not yield the result, check the total character count as a primary factor.
