In a certain code language, 'STAIR' is coded as #*&@$' and 'TEARS' is coded as *&^@#". What is the code for 'I' in the given code language?

• A. #
• B. ^
• C. @
• D. $

Answer 1

Answer:

D. $

• STAIR → # * & @

• TEARS → * & ^ @ #

• In TEARS, extra letter = E, extra symbol = ^

So,

• I → $</b></p></li><li><p data-pxy="true" style="color: rgb(0,0,0); margin-top: 2px; margin-bottom: 2px;"><b>E → ^</b></p></li></ul><p data-pxy="true" style="color: rgb(0,0,0); margin-top: 2px; margin-bottom: 2px;"><b>I is coded as$
