Explanation

Let's analyze the given pattern:

  1. FISH → 21
    • Assign numerical values to the letters based on their position in the alphabet:
      F = 6, I = 9, S = 19, H = 8
    • Sum of these values:
      6 + 9 + 19 + 8 = 42
    • Then, divide by 2:
      42 ÷ 2 = 21
  2. Apply the same pattern to "SWIM"
    • Assign numerical values:
      S = 19, W = 23, I = 9, M = 13
    • Sum of these values:
      19 + 23 + 9 + 13 = 64
    • Divide by 2:
      64 ÷ 2 = 32

Correct Answer:

B: 32
