In a certain language SCOTLAND is written as 12345678, LOAN is written as 1435, LOTS is written as 8124, DAN is written as 537 and SON is written as 458, then what will be the code for C?

6

The correct answer is Option (1) → 6

Upon Analyzing all the additional word-code mappings:

• LOAN = 1435
• LOTS = 8124
• DAN = 537
• SON = 458

From these, construct a unique mapping for each letter:

Since C only appears in SCOTLAND and not in any derived words, and since SCOTLAND = 12345678, the 2^nd letter is C → 6.
