The letters in the series correspond to positions in the English alphabet with a constant skip of one letter in between. A is 1, C is 3, E is 5 and G is 7, so the sequence follows 1, 3, 5, 7. The next alphabet position should therefore be 9, which corresponds to the letter I. This consistent pattern of adding 2 to position numbers confirms I as the correct continuation.

Option A:
Option A, H, corresponds to position 8, which would result from adding 1 to G. That would break the established pattern of skipping one letter between terms. Therefore, H does not fit the rule observed in the given series.

Option B:
Option B, J, is position 10, which is two steps after I and would mean the series suddenly jumps by 3 from G’s position 7. There is no evidence of such a change in increment, so J is not appropriate.

Option C:
Option C, I, is position 9, obtained by adding 2 to 7, which aligns exactly with the pattern used to generate all previous letters. The series consistently increases by two positions each time, so I is the only choice that respects the underlying rule.

Option D:
Option D, K, corresponds to position 11, implying a jump of 4 from position 7, which is inconsistent with the fixed increment of 2. Choosing K would ignore the observed regularity of the series.

The letters in LOGIC correspond to positions: L is 12, O is 15, G is 7, I is 9 and C is 3. Adding these positions gives 12 + 15 + 7 + 9 + 3 = 46. Therefore, the sum of the code numbers for LOGIC is 46.

Option A:
Option A exactly matches the sum of the letter positions and correctly applies the coding rule to every letter in the word.

Option B:
Option B, 49, is 3 more than the correct total and indicates an error in adding one or more of the letter values.

Option C:
Option C, 51, overshoots the correct sum by 5 and could result from misreading one of the letter positions.

Option D:
Option D, 52, is even farther from the true total and cannot be obtained by any correct application of the given mapping.

The rule states that each letter is replaced by its position in the alphabet and then all positions are summed. For NET, N is 14, E is 5 and T is 20. Adding these values gives 14 + 5 + 20 = 39. Since this computation matches the coding rule used in the example, 39 is the correct code for NET.

Option A:
Option A, 35, would require the sum of letter positions to be 35, but 14 + 5 + 20 clearly equals 39, not 35. This option therefore underestimates the actual total and ignores the correct arithmetic.

Option B:
Option B, 37, is also inconsistent with the required sum of positions, as there is no combination of N, E and T that would legitimately produce 37 under the stated rule. It likely arises from a miscalculation.

Option C:
Option C, 38, is again close to the correct answer but still incorrect because the precise sum 14 + 5 + 20 equals 39. In coding questions, even a small deviation from the rule’s outcome invalidates the option.

Option D:
Option D, 39, exactly matches the sum of the alphabetic positions of N, E and T. It faithfully applies the same coding procedure that produced 60 for WORD, making it the only option consistent with the defined rule.
