Question

In a certain code language, each letter is assigned a unique digit. Based on the given codes for specific words, determine the code for the target word using the same logic. If MOUSE is coded as 45291 and RAT as 786, how is STORE coded?

1. A. 96571 (Correct answer)
2. B. 97653
3. C. 98345
4. D. 96278

Correct Answer

Option A — 96571

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is 96571.

Key Points

• Build the letter-to-digit table from the two given codes. MOUSE → 45291 gives M=4, O=5, U=2, S=9, E=1.
• RAT → 786 gives R=7, A=8, T=6.
• Now spell the target: S T O R E → 9, 6, 5, 7, 1 = 96571.

Additional Information

• Each letter maps to a unique digit, so the code is a straight substitution — write the table out before attempting the target word.
• Both given words are needed: MOUSE supplies S, O and E, while RAT supplies T and R. Neither alone is enough.
• Check that no digit is claimed by two letters; a clash means the mapping was read off in the wrong order.
