Question

If in a certain code, the word MILITARY is written as 12324567, then in the same code, the word TAIL will be written as:

• A. 3254
• B. 4523
• C. 2345
• D. 5432

Hint:

Always write down the complete letter-to-number mapping before coding the second word. It avoids confusion and ensures accuracy.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: First, map the letters in MILITARY to their code numbers as given.
M → 1, I → 2, L → 3, I → 2, T → 4, A → 5, R → 6, Y → 7.
Step 2: Now, for the word TAIL, find each letter’s code.
T → 4, A → 5, I → 2, L → 3.
Step 3: Combine these numbers in the same order: 4 5 2 3.
Step 4: Thus, the coded form of TAIL is 4523.
