The correct answer is

7345

This question tests the ability to decode a word based on a given coding scheme where letters are assigned specific numerical values.

Understanding Letter-to-Number Coding Patterns

The core idea in this type of problem is to find a consistent relationship between letters and numbers. We are given two examples:

  • GLOBALLY is coded as 61374118
  • CITY is coded as 2958

We need to find the code for the word BOAT.

Analyzing the Provided Codes

Let's break down the given codes to find the pattern:

Analyzing GLOBALLY -> 61374118:

  • G corresponds to 6
  • L corresponds to 1
  • O corresponds to 3
  • B corresponds to 7
  • A corresponds to 4
  • L corresponds to 1
  • L corresponds to 1
  • Y corresponds to 8

Analyzing CITY -> 2958:

  • C corresponds to 2
  • I corresponds to 9
  • T corresponds to 5
  • Y corresponds to 8

Identifying Consistent Letter Mappings

By comparing the codes, we can see if the mappings are consistent, especially for letters that appear in both words or multiple times within a word.

  • The letter 'Y' appears in both GLOBALLY (last letter) and CITY (last letter), and in both cases, it is coded as '8'. This suggests a direct mapping where each letter has a fixed corresponding digit.
  • The letter 'L' appears three times in GLOBALLY, and each time it is coded as '1'. This further supports the direct mapping hypothesis.

Based on this analysis, we can establish the following letter-to-number mappings relevant to the target word BOAT:

  • From GLOBALLY: B -> 7
  • From GLOBALLY: O -> 3
  • From GLOBALLY: A -> 4
  • From CITY: T -> 5

Determining the Code for BOAT

Now, we apply these established mappings to the word BOAT:

  • B is mapped to 7
  • O is mapped to 3
  • A is mapped to 4
  • T is mapped to 5

Combining these digits in order, we get the code for BOAT as 7345.

Conclusion

The coding scheme assigns a unique number to each letter based on the provided examples. By finding the specific codes for B, O, A, and T from the given words GLOBALLY and CITY, we can construct the code for BOAT.

  • B = 7
  • O = 3
  • A = 4
  • T = 5

Therefore, BOAT is written as 7345.
