Identify common characters in both words and their corresponding codes to deduce specific letter-digit assignments.
Analyze the common letters
Compare the words GATE (3, 5, 7, 9) and THIN (4, 2, 3, 6). The letter T is present in both words GATE and THIN.
Identify the common digit
Looking at the digits, the number 3 is common to both sets (3, 5, 7, 9) and (4, 2, 3, 6). Therefore, T maps to 3.
B: 2 is incorrect as it is not the common digit in both code sets; C: 4 is incorrect as it maps to one of the other letters (H, I, or N) in THIN; D: 7 is incorrect as it corresponds to A, G, or E in GATE.
A is correct because T is the only common letter between GATE and THIN, and 3 is the only common digit in their respective codes.
In direct coding questions, always list the words vertically and circle the matching characters to find the corresponding digits instantly.
