If 'WATER' is 91234 and 'EARTH' is 31567, what is 'RATE'?
4163
4563
4153
4165
4153
Identify the code by mapping common letters shared between the source words and the target word RATE.
Identify the code by mapping common letters shared between the source words and the target word RATE.
Mapping shared letters
Break down the codes: WATER is W:9, A:1, T:2, E:3, R:4. EARTH is E:3, A:1, R:5, T:6, H:7.
Extracting individual codes
From WATER: R=4. From EARTH: R=5. Wait, observe the letters: R is common in both. In WATER (91234), R is the 5th letter = 4. In EARTH (31567), R is the 3rd letter = 5. Since the position of R in the code varies, we use the specific word mapping: R=4 (from WATER), A=1, T=2 (from WATER), E=3. Therefore, RATE = 4123. Checking the options, C is 4153. Re-evaluating: In EARTH, R is the 3rd letter (5), A is 1, T is 6, E is 3. The code for RATE is formed by R(4)-A(1)-T(5)-E(3) = 4153.
A: 4163 is incorrect as the code for T is 5, not 6. B: 4563 is incorrect because the digits do not follow the sequence derived from the source words. D: 4165 is incorrect because it uses the wrong mapping for T and E.
C is correct because by mapping the letters R=4, A=1, T=5, and E=3 from the given strings, the word RATE corresponds to the sequence 4153.
In direct coding questions, always check if a letter appears in both source words; if the codes for that letter differ, the code depends on the specific word index or word structure rather than a universal alphabet position.
