The logic followed here is :-

The given word is coded as "X-Y".

X = Number of letters in a word.

Y = Sum of opposite alphabet positional letters of a word.

'CARPETS' is written as '7-107'.

F2 Mrunal SSC 27.11.2022 D30

Number of letters in word 'CARPETS' = 7

Sum of opposite alphabet positional letters = 24 + 26 + 9 + 11 + 22 + 7 + 8

Sum of opposite alphabet positional letters = 107

And

'DRIVE' is written as '5-77'.

F2 Mrunal SSC 27.11.2022 D31

Number of letters in word 'DRIVE' = 5

Sum of opposite alphabet positional letters = 23 + 9 + 18 + 5 + 22

Sum of opposite alphabet positional letters = 77

Similarly,

'GOLDEN' will be written as :

F2 Mrunal SSC 27.11.2022 D32

Number of letters in word 'GOLDEN' = 6

Sum of opposite alphabet positional letters = 20 + 12 + 15 + 23 + 22 + 13

Sum of opposite alphabet positional letters = 105

∴ Here, 'GOLDEN' is written as '6-105'.

Hence, the correct answer is "6-105".
