The logic followed here is :-

Sum of alphabet positional value × 3

'ONION' is coded as 201.

= (15 + 14 + 9 + 15 + 14) × 3

= 67 × 3

= 201

and

'POTATO' is coded as 261.

= (16 + 15 + 20 + 1 + 20 + 15) × 3

= 87 × 3

= 261

Similarly,

'MANGO' will be coded as :

= (13 + 1 + 14 + 7 + 15) × 3

= 50 × 3

= 150

Hence, the correct answer is "150".
