    A 7 10 11 13 17 19 21 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 8 11 12 14 18 19 22 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 3 5 7 7 10 20 22 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 9 12 13 15 17 22 25 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The logic followed here is as follows: Arrange the letters in alphabetical order, then add 2 to the place value of each letter (when written in alphabetical order). G         A         R         D         E         N         S A         D         E        G        N        R         S Adding 2: C(3)    F(6)     G(7)   I(9)     P(16) T(20)  U(21) Similarly, T          E         A         C         H         E         R A         C         E        E         H         R         T Adding 2: C(3)     E(5)      G(7)   G(7)     J(10)  T(20)    V(22) So, the coded value for TEACHER is ‘3 5 7 7 10 20 22’
