Compare the two given coded words, identify common letters and their corresponding digits, and directly read off the code for the target letter.
Analyze the first coded word
We are given that the word DOTH is coded as 3764. By direct positional correspondence, D=3, O=7, T=6, and H=4.
Analyze the second coded word
We are given that the word HOLD is coded as 7943. Here, H=7, O=9, L=4, and D=3. This confirms consistency in direct letter-to-digit substitution.
Find the code for letter T
Looking at the word DOTH = 3764, the letter T is in the 3rd position, which corresponds to the digit 6. Thus, T is coded as 6.
B: 7 is the code for H. C: 4 is the code for H or D. D: 3 is the code for D.
A is correct because in the given code word DOTH = 3764, the letter T corresponds to the 3rd digit which is 6.
In direct substitution coding questions, always check if common letters across words share the exact same digits to confirm a direct substitution pattern.
