If each alphabet has a value of zero, each symbol has a value equivalent to the square of the numberal that immediately precedes the symbol or the value of 1 if it is not immediately preceded by any numeral, what will be the sum of the values of the first 10 elements of the series starting from the left end ?

Options

A. 46
B. 79
C. 107
D. 118

Answer

D

Explanation

According to the question, the arrangement of the first 10 elements from the left end :
2 `2^(2)` 8 5 6 0 9 `(9^(2))` 0 3.
So, the required sum
`=2+2^(2)+8+5+6+0+9+(9^(2))+0+3`
`=2+4+8=5+6+9+81+3=118`
