Answer 1

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Sum of the place values of the letters in the word is the code of that word.

Now,

'FAN' is coded as '21'

⇒ F(6) + A(1) + N(14) = 21.

Similarly,

for 'TORCH'

⇒ T(20) + O(15) + R(18) + C(3) + H(8) = 64;

So, 'TORCH' will be coded as '64'.

Hence, the correct answer is "64".
