In a certain code language, ‘PICK’ is coded as ‘2384’ and ‘SKIP’ is coded as ‘4638’. What is the code for ‘S’ in that language?
8

6
Identify common letters in both words (P, I) and correlate them with common digits in the codes (3, 8) to isolate unique letters.
Identify common letters in both words (P, I) and correlate them with common digits in the codes (3, 8) to isolate unique letters.
Analyze Given Codes
We are given PICK = 2384 and SKIP = 4638. Both words share letters P, I, K. The common digits in their codes are 3, 8, 4.
Isolate the Unique Letter
Comparing PICK and SKIP, the letter 'C' is present only in PICK (coded as 2), and the letter 'S' is present only in SKIP (coded as 6).
Mapping Verification
In SKIP (4638), the letters are S, K, I, P. Since K, I, P are 3, 8, and 4 in some order, the remaining digit 6 must be the code for S.
A: 8 represents either K, I, or P, not S. B: 3 represents either K, I, or P, not S. D: 2 is the code for the letter C.
C is correct because by comparing the common letters in PICK and SKIP, we identify that 6 is the unique digit assigned to the letter S.
In comparative coding problems, always list the common letters and their corresponding numbers first to eliminate them from the analysis.
