Question

In a certain code language, 'GIFT' is coded as '5197' and 'FIST' is coded as '4157'. What is the code for 'S' in that language?

• A. 9
• B. 5
• C. 1
• D. 4

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 5

From the given codes:

• GIFT → 5197

• FIST → 4157

Let’s match letter positions:

GIFT = 5 1 9 7

G I F T
So:

• G → 5

• I → 1

• F → 9

• T → 7

  FIST = 4 1 5 7

F I S T
So:

• F → 4

• I → 1

• S → 5

• T → 7

  Now find S

From FIST, S corresponds to 5

Final Answer:

S = 5
