Question
RAIN is written in a code as 8%6 and MORE is mentioned as 78@. How will REMAIN be mentioned in code language?
- A. @86%7
- B. %7@%6
- C. 86@7
- 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.
