To Enable CAPTCHA, Follow the below steps

Step-2 : Click to expand the CAPTCHA section, and Enable CAPTCHA in Admin to Yes. There you can find “Forms” and “Displaying Mode”, Find Below image for your reference

Step-3 : Under Forms, you could not find “Contact Us” form, To add Contact Us form, findcaptcha/forms element in core_config table and add “contact_form” form name to the list and modify config.xml in

/app/code/core/Mage/Captcha/etc

in – <frontend> – <areas> add something like

<contact_form>
<label>Contact Us</label>
</contact_form>

Step-4 : and in – <always_for> add the below

<contact_form>1</contact_form>

Also there’s a miss for translation in the config file, so you should add this to the<frontend> section:

<translate>
<modules>
<Mage_Captcha>
<files>
<default>Mage_Captcha.csv</default>
</files>
</Mage_Captcha>
</modules>
</translate>

Step-5 : Refresh cache. Login to Admin, and make sure Contact Us form is listed in CAPTCHA configuration
Step-6 : Modify captcha layout xml file in frontend/base/default (or your theme) and add this section

<contacts_index_index>
<reference name=”contactForm”>
<block type=”core/text_list” name=”form.additional.info”>
<block type=”captcha/captcha” name=”captcha”>
<reference name=”head”>
<action method=”addJs”>
<file>mage/captcha.js</file>
</action>
</reference>
<action method=”setFormId”>
<formId>contact_form</formId>
</action>
<action method=”setImgWidth”>
<width>230</width>
</action>
<action method=”setImgHeight”>
<width>50</width>
</action>
</block>
</block>
</reference>
</contacts_index_index>

and Refresh cache.
Step-7 : Modify form code in /frontend/base/default/template/contacts/form.phtml to add placeholder to render captcha layout .Add this line of code right before </ul>

<?php echo $this->getChildHtml(\\\’form.additional.info\\\’); ?>

Step-8 : Now, how to “trap” the post from the Contact Us form and check the captcha
Mage uses Events and Observer to achieve this, and it works very well for theforms/events they have implemented this feature. I was not able to find events specific for Contact Us form, so, IMHO the most obvious solution is to override indexController incode/core/Mage/Contacts/controllers and in the postAction method, inside try block add the following code:

$formId = ‘contact_form';
$captchaModel = Mage::helper(‘captcha’)->getCaptcha($formId);
if ($captchaModel->isRequired()) {
if (!$captchaModel->isCorrect($this->_getCaptchaString($this->getRequest(), $formId))) {
Mage::getSingleton(‘customer/session’)->addError(Mage::helper(‘captcha’)->__(‘Incorrect CAPTCHA.’));
$this->setFlag(”, Mage_Core_Controller_Varien_Action::FLAG_NO_DISPATCH, true);
Mage::getSingleton(‘customer/session’)->setCustomerFormData($this->getRequest()->getPost());
$this->getResponse()->setRedirect(Mage::getUrl(‘*/*/’));
return;
}
}

and add this utility method to the controller class:

protected function _getCaptchaString($request, $formId)
{
$captchaParams = $request->getPost(Mage_Captcha_Helper_Data::INPUT_NAME_FIELD_VALUE);
return $captchaParams[$formId];
}

Step-9 : Refresh Cache, You are done.
Good Luck.
