Question

What is the code for ‘mob like’ in the given code language?

• A. $23\%B,\;56\#K$
• B. $55\%O,\;76^{}E$
• C. $45@B,\;34\&E$
• D. $67\%D,\;37@E$
• E.

Hint:

In these coding puzzles, always start by identifying a repeating pattern (in this case, the last letter of the word $\Rightarrow$ the last letter in the code). Once you spot a pattern, check the available options to match the endings first.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

We are given a code language in which each word is mapped to a code. To understand the pattern, let's break down the coding of some example words and their corresponding codes: - mark → 35%T,72@Y,98&K,76#S
- money → 67@E,56N,34@D,97&R
- door → 34@H,34% C,54&F,74^X
- maa → 34%G,73&M,23@I,55A
In these examples, observe the following patterns: 1. The last letter of the word is consistently mapped to a capital letter in the code (e.g., for mark, the last letter is k which corresponds to K in the code). 2. The number preceding the letter seems to vary but the code corresponds to each letter position distinctly (for example, for money, it has 67@E for the letter E). Given this pattern, we can derive the following code for the word "mob like": - The last letter of mob is B, so the code for mob will end with B. - The last letter of like is E, so the code for like will end with E. Thus, the valid code for mob like will contain codes ending with B and E. Among the given options, only option (c) contains 45@B and 34&E corresponding to the last letters of the words.
