• A. 7
• B. 6
• C. 0
• D. 9

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 6

Let’s decode it step by step.

Given codes:

• BASE → 8970

• ASET → 0697

Find common letters

Common letters in BASE and ASET are: A, S, E

Common digits in 8970 and 0697 are: 0, 9, 7

So:

• A, S, E ↔ 0, 9, 7 (in some order)

Find the unique letter

• In ASET, the extra letter is T

• In 0697, the extra digit is 6

T is coded as 6
