Question

In a certain code language, 'GELS' is coded as '9872' and 'SELF' is coded as '8276'. What is the code for 'F' in the given code language?

• A. 8
• B. 2
• C. 7
• D. 6

Answer 1

Answer:

D. 6

We are given:

• GELS → 9872

• SELF → 8276

Let’s match letters with digits.

From GELS → 9872

G = 9
E = 8
L = 7
S = 2

From SELF → 8276

S = 8
E = 2
L = 7
F = 6

Resolve consistency

From first word:

• S = 2

From second word:

• S = 8

So S changes, meaning position-based coding is used, not fixed letter coding.

Now focus on F, which appears only in:

SELF → 8276

So:

• F = 6

  Final Answer: 6
