Question

RAIN is written in a code as 8%6 and MORE is mentioned as 78@. How will REMAIN be mentioned in code language?

  1. A. @86%7
  2. B. %7@%6
  3. C. 86@7
  4. D. 8@7%6 (Correct answer)

Correct Answer

Option D — 8@7%6

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is 8@7$%6.

Key Points

  • This is a symbol coding-decoding question.
  • From the two given codes we can map each letter to its symbol. RAIN is coded as 8$%6, which gives R = 8, A = $, I = %, N = 6. MORE is coded as 7#8@, which gives M = 7, O = #, R = 8, E = @.
  • Now encode REMAIN letter by letter using this mapping: R = 8, E = @, M = 7, A = $, I = %, N = 6.
  • Joining these in order gives 8@7$%6, which matches option (D).

Exam Tip

  • the reliable method is to build a small letter-to-symbol table in your rough sheet from the given codes, then encode the target word one letter at a time.
  • Note that R = 8 appears in both given words, which is the cross-check that confirms your mapping is correct before you encode.
