The logic followed here is :-

Number of alphabets in given word2.

  • 'DUST' is coded as 16.

Number of alphabets in word DUST = 4 → 42 = 16

and

  • 'EARTH' is coded as 25 .

Number of alphabets in word EARTH = 5 → 52 = 25

Similarly,

'MAN' will be coded as :

Number of alphabets in word MAN = 3 → 32 = 9

Hence, the correct answer is "9".
