Compare the common letters and their corresponding numbers across both given coded words to directly find the code for the target letter without solving the entire word.
Compare the common letters and their corresponding numbers across both given coded words to directly find the code for the target letter without solving the entire word.
Step 1: Analyze the first coded word
We are given that 'FROM' is coded as '4935'. By direct letter-to-digit correspondence, F = 4, R = 9, O = 3, and M = 5.
Step 2: Analyze the second coded word
We are given that 'MORE' is coded as '3154'. By direct letter-to-digit correspondence, M = 3, O = 1, R = 5, and E = 4.
Step 3: Extract the code for 'E'
Comparing the code positions in 'MORE' ('3154'), the last letter 'E' corresponds to the last digit '4'.
A: 5 is incorrect because 5 represents 'R' (common in both FROM and MORE). C: 9 is incorrect because 9 represents 'R' in FROM. D: 3 is incorrect because 3 represents 'O' or 'M'.
B is correct because in the coded word 'MORE' ('3154'), the letter 'E' corresponds to the digit '4'.
When direct codes are given for two words with overlapping letters (like M, O, R in both FROM and MORE), always cross-verify the common letters to ensure the substitution code is consistent.
