If each of the letters in the English alphabet is assigned an even numerical value by giving A = 2, B =4 and so on, then what would be the total value of the letters for the word 'LADY' when similarly coded?
A. 74
B. 72
C. 84
D. 82

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Given, A = 2, B = 4, C = 6, D = 8, ........, Z = 52

LADY = 2(12 + 1 + 4 + 25) = 2 x 42 = 84
