Answer:
C. 4
Read Explanation:
Look at the pattern:
ZXFGA → 3
BTGHASQR → 6
Notice the code number equals the number of consonants in the word.
Check:
1️⃣ ZXFGA
Letters: Z, X, F, G, A
Vowel: A
Consonants: Z, X, F, G = 4
But code is 3 ❌ — so not total consonants.
Let’s check another pattern.
Count letters having straight line segments only (no curves).
Letters made only of straight lines:
A, E, F, H, I, K, L, M, N, T, V, W, X, Y, Z
Now check:
ZXFGA
Z ✓
X ✓
F ✓
G ✗ (curve)
A ✓
Total straight-line letters = 4
But code is 3 ❌
Now count letters having at least one enclosed space (closed area):
Closed letters: A, B, D, O, P, Q, R
ZXFGA
Only A has closed area → 1 ❌
Now check number of letters with more than one line segment intersection.
Instead, observe something simpler:
Count the letters that come after M in the alphabet.
Letters after M: N to Z
ZXFGA
Z ✓
X ✓
F ✗
G ✗
A ✗
Count = 2 ❌
Now check number of letters in even alphabet positions.
Even positions: B(2), D(4), F(6), H(8), J(10), L(12), N(14), P(16), R(18), T(20), V(22), X(24), Z(26)
ZXFGA
Z (26) ✓
X (24) ✓
F (6) ✓
G (7) ✗
A (1) ✗
Total = 3
✔ Matches code 3
Check second word:
BTGHASQR
B (2) ✓
T (20) ✓
G (7) ✗
H (8) ✓
A (1) ✗
S (19) ✗
Q (17) ✗
R (18) ✓
Total even-position letters = 4
But code given is 6 ❌
Try another idea:
Count number of letters having more than 2 strokes.
Instead observe carefully:
ZXFGA → 5 letters → code 3
BTGHASQR → 8 letters → code 6
Notice:
5 − 2 = 3
8 − 2 = 6
So code = (Number of letters − 2)
Check:
ZXFGA → 5 − 2 = 3 ✔
BTGHASQR → 8 − 2 = 6 ✔
Pattern fits perfectly.
Now apply to:
YWNERI
Number of letters = 6
6 − 2 = 4
