Identify common letters between the given words to directly extract the corresponding number codes without needing full alphabetical position formulas.
Analyze First Word
The word 'GIRL' is coded as '1539'. Comparing position-wise: G=1, I=5, R=3, L=9.
Analyze Second Word
The word 'ROSE' is coded as '6825'. Position-wise: R=6? Wait, let's check exact direct letter-coding mapping. In GIRL, R is the 3rd letter, and the 3rd digit is 3.
Determine Code for R
Since 'GIRL' = '1539', the third letter 'R' directly corresponds to the third digit '3'.
B: 5 is incorrect as it corresponds to I in GIRL. C: 8 is incorrect as it corresponds to O in ROSE. D: 6 is incorrect as it corresponds to R in ROSE under alternative substitution, but direct positional mapping gives 3.
A is correct because in the direct positional code of 'GIRL' ('1539'), the letter 'R' is at the 3rd position, which corresponds to the digit 3.
Always check for direct position-by-position matching before assuming complex alphabetical shifting rules.
