 In a certain coding system, ‘how are you’ is coded as '639', ‘are you fine today’ is coded as ‘6453', and ‘stay fine’ is coded as '58'. What is the code for ‘today’ in this system?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e 4​​​​​​.

The logic used here is:

‘how are you’ is coded as '639', ‘are you fine today’ is coded as ‘6453', and ‘stay fine’ is coded as '58'

So, from this,

Code for word how = 9

Code for word are = 6 or 3

Code for word you = 6 or 3

Code for word fine = 5

Code for word today = 4

Code for word stay = 8

Thus, code for the word 'today' is 4.

Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
