Question 58

Logical Reasoning Coding Decoding Easy

In a certain code, DOES is written as 5$3% and SITE is written as %4#3. How is EDIT written in that code?

(A) 3#4$
(B) %3#5
(C) 354#
(D) 4#5$
View Dynamic Solution & Explanation
Correct Solution: Option C

Step-by-step Solution:

Decoding the Pattern

This is a direct substitution code, where each letter is consistently replaced by a specific symbol or number. We can find the code for 'EDIT' by determining the code for each letter from the given examples.

1. Finding the Code for Each Letter

Let's break down the two examples to create a key:

  • From DOES = 5$3%, we get:
    • D = 5
    • O = $
    • E = 3
    • S = %
  • From SITE = %4#3, we get:
    • S = %
    • I = 4
    • T = #
    • E = 3

2. Applying the Code to 'EDIT'

Now we use our key to find the code for each letter in the word 'EDIT':

  • E = 3
  • D = 5
  • I = 4
  • T = #

Conclusion

By combining the codes for each letter in order, the code for 'EDIT' is 354#.
