Question

In a certain code language, 'FLOAT' is coded as '14238' and 'BLOAT' is coded as '23849'. What is the code for 'F' in the given code language?

• A. 4
• B. 2
• C. 1
• D. 9

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 1

Compare the two given codes:

• FLOAT → 14238

• BLOAT → 23849

  Match common letters (LOAT)

Both words have LOAT, so their codes must match in position.

So:

• L → 2

• O → 3

• A → 8

• T → 4

  Identify F

From FLOAT → 14238:

• F corresponds to the remaining digit 1

  Check consistency

Everything fits consistently with BLOAT and FLOAT patterns.

Final Answer:

F = 1
