If ‘LION’ is coded as ‘3157’ and ‘GOAT’ is coded as ‘8592’, what does ‘93578’ stand for?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → ALONG
Each letter has its own digit, in the same order as the letters (O is 5 in both words). Build the list and read 93578 back into letters.
LION = 3157: L = 3, I = 1, O = 5, N = 7
GOAT = 8592: G = 8, A = 9, T = 2
93578: 9 = A, 3 = L, 5 = O, 7 = N, 8 = G
So 93578 stands for ALONG.
