Identify common letters between the two words and map their positions to the codes provided; the unique symbol in the second word identifies the unique letter.
Analyze the given mappings
Word 1: TAKERS → 0 4 5% ^ 1. Word 2: TALKER → 1 * 4 5 0%. Both words share the letters T, A, K, E, R.
Compare the letters in both words
TAKERS uses the letters {T, A, K, E, R, S}. TALKER uses the letters {T, A, L, K, E, R}. The unique letter in TALKER is L, and the unique symbol in its code (1*450%) that is not in the code for TAKERS is *.
Extract the specific code for L
Comparing the sets: {T, A, K, E, R} codes for both words are {0, 4, 5, %, 1}. The only character remaining for L in TALKER is *.
A: 0 corresponds to either T, A, K, E, or R. C: ^ corresponds to the letter S in TAKERS. D: 5 corresponds to either T, A, K, E, or R.
B is correct because the letter L is present only in TALKER and the symbol * is the only symbol present in the code for TALKER that is not present in the code for TAKERS.
In comparative coding questions, always list the set of characters for each word and subtract the intersection to isolate the value of the unknown variable.
