Direct letter-to-digit substitution: find the common letters between the given words and match their corresponding numbers.
Step 1: Analyze First Given Word
We are given that 'NUMB' is coded as '4618'. By direct position matching, N corresponds to 4, U to 6, M to 1, and B to 8.
Step 2: Analyze Second Given Word
We are given that 'BUNT' is coded as '6438'. Here, B=6, U=4, N=3, and T=8.
Step 3: Determine Code for 'T'
In the word 'BUNT' (coded as '6438'), the last letter 'T' corresponds to the last digit '8'.
A: 6 represents the letter B. C: 3 represents the letter N. D: 4 represents the letter U.
B is correct because by direct letter-to-digit substitution from the word BUNT to 6438, the letter T corresponds to the digit 8.
Always check for common letters in direct substitution coding questions before applying alphabetical position rules.
