Identify common letters in both words (CASE and SLIP) to find the common digit mapping.
Analyze the given words and codes
Word 1 is CASE which is coded as 8426. Word 2 is SLIP which is coded as 9275.
Identify the common element
The letter S is present in both words: CASE (S is at position 3) and SLIP (S is at position 1). The codes are 8426 (digit 2 is at position 3) and 9275 (digit 2 is at position 2).
Verify the common code
Comparing the words CASE and SLIP, the only common letter is 'S'. Comparing the codes 8426 and 9275, the only common digit is '2'. Therefore, S = 2.
B: 9 is incorrect because it corresponds to the letter L or P in SLIP. C: 8 is incorrect because it corresponds to the letter C in CASE. D: 6 is incorrect because it corresponds to the letter E in CASE.
A is correct because the letter S is the only common character between 'CASE' and 'SLIP', and the number 2 is the only common digit between their respective codes '8426' and '9275'.
In coding-decoding questions with multiple words, always look for repeating characters first; this often solves the code for a specific letter without needing to map the entire word.
