Analyze the given word codes
Word 1: WORK = 5829. Word 2: KIND = 9173. Identify the common letter between WORK and KIND, which is 'K'.
Match common characters with common digits
Look at the codes: 5829 (for WORK) and 9173 (for KIND). The digit '9' is present in both codes. Since 'K' is the only common letter, it must correspond to the digit '9'.
A is wrong because 5 represents W, B is wrong because 8 represents O, C is wrong because 2 represents R.
D is correct because 'K' is the common letter in both words 'WORK' and 'KIND', and '9' is the only common digit in their respective codes '5829' and '9173'.
In direct coding questions, always check for common letters in the words provided to quickly deduce the value of specific characters without full decoding.
