Explanation

Let's analyze the pattern used in the given code:

  1. ENTHALPY → 50.5
    • Assign numerical values to each letter based on their position in the alphabet:
      E = 5, N = 14, T = 20, H = 8, A = 1, L = 12, P = 16, Y = 25
    • Sum of these values:
      5 + 14 + 20 + 8 + 1 + 12 + 16 + 25 = 101
    • The code given is 50.5, which is 101 ÷ 2.
  2. Find the code for "ENTROPY"
    • Assign numerical values:
      E = 5, N = 14, T = 20, R = 18, O = 15, P = 16, Y = 25
    • Sum of these values:
      5 + 14 + 20 + 18 + 15 + 16 + 25 = 113
    • Divide by 2:
      113 ÷ 2 = 56.5

Correct Answer:

C: 56.5
