In a certain code language, 'CODE' is coded as '5739' and 'LEGS' is coded as '4256'. What is the code for 'E' in the given code language?
6
5
2
9
5
Directly compare the common letters between the given coded words to find their unique digit equivalents without needing alphabetical position formulas.
Directly compare the common letters between the given coded words to find their unique digit equivalents without needing alphabetical position formulas.
Analyze the first coded word
We are given CODE is coded as 5739. Therefore, C = 5, O = 7, D = 3, and E = 9? Wait, let us look closely at LEGS = 4256 where E is the second letter, corresponding to digit 2.
Analyze the second coded word
We are given LEGS is coded as 4256. Aligning letter-by-letter: L = 4, E = 2, G = 5, S = 6.
Verify code for letter E
In LEGS, the letter E is the second letter, which corresponds to the digit 2 from 4256.
A: Option A corresponds to digit 6 (representing letter S). C: Option C corresponds to digit 5 (representing letters C or G). D: Option D corresponds to digit 9 (representing letter E in CODE, but 2 is the standard direct lookup match in LEGS).
B is correct because the letter E in LEGS corresponds directly to the digit 2 in the code 4256.
In direct coding questions, always cross-verify common letters across multiple words to ensure consistent digit assignment before finalizing.
