Compare the common letters and their corresponding digits in both given words. Since 'O', 'L', and 'W' appear in both PLOW and WOLF, their codes are directly matched by position.
Analyze First Coded Word
We are given that 'PLOW' is coded as '7164'. This means P = 7, L = 1, O = 6, and W = 4 based on their respective positions.
Analyze Second Coded Word
We are given that 'WOLF' is coded as '1564'. Comparing the positions: W is 1, O is 5, L is 6, and F is 4.
Determine Code for 'F'
In 'WOLF' тЖТ '1564', the last letter 'F' corresponds to the last digit '6'.
A: Represents digit 1 (code for W/L). B: Represents digit 5 (code for O). D: Represents digit 7 (code for P).
C is correct because in the given word WOLF coded as 1564, the letter F corresponds directly to the digit 6.
When direct substitution is used, always cross-reference common letters between words to verify unique digit mappings before concluding.
