In a certain code language, TILE is written as 3465 and SMART is written as 72183. How will ALERT be written in that code language?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → 16583
In this code each letter stands for one fixed digit, so the two given words supply a digit for every letter of ALERT.
TILE = 3465 gives T = 3, I = 4, L = 6, E = 5
SMART = 72183 gives S = 7, M = 2, A = 1, R = 8, T = 3; T is 3 in both words, which confirms the letter-for-digit rule
ALERT: A = 1, L = 6, E = 5, R = 8, T = 3, so ALERT is written as 16583
