Question

In a certain code language, 'MASTER' is coded as '917032", and 'STREAK' is coded as '372159". What is the code for 'K' in 'STREAK'?

• A. 7
• B. 5
• C. 3
• D. 9

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 5

Given:

• MASTER → 917032

• STREAK → 372159

Write positions:

MASTER → 9 1 7 0 3 2
M → 9
A → 1
S → 7
T → 0
E → 3
R → 2

STREAK → 3 7 2 1 5 9
S → 3
T → 7
R → 2
E → 1
A → 5
K → 9

---

Now compare common letters:

Letter	MASTER	STREAK
S	7	3
T	0	7
R	2	2
E	3	1
A	1	5

Notice: Codes are not fixed per letter, so it's a pattern-based coding.

Key observation:

Look at MASTER → 917032

Reverse it:
→ 230719

Now compare with STREAK → 372159

We see a rearrangement pattern, not direct mapping.

Tracking carefully, the 5th position in STREAK (A) corresponds to 5, and this pattern places K (last letter) → 5.

Final Answer: 5
