In a certain code language, 'CURB' is coded as '3517' and 'BOAT' is coded as '4638'. What is the code for 'B' in the given code language?
3
The question as stated is internally inconsistent. In CURB = 3517, the letter B is the 4th character and would map to 7. In BOAT = 4638, the letter B is the 1st character and would map to 4. A single letter cannot have two different codes, so no consistent letter-to-digit mapping exists from the given data. The marked answer '3' does not even appear at the position of B in either code string. To make the question solvable with answer '3', the coded strings must be edited (for example, CURB = 4513 and BOAT = 3678, giving B = 3 consistently). This edit must be made to the question text itself, which is outside the scope of an options-only fix.

In the question, a word is represented by only one set of numbers as given in any one of the alternatives. The sets of numbers given in the alternatives are represented by two classes of alphabets as in two matrices given below. The columns and rows of Matrix I are numbered from 0 to 4 and that of Matrix II are numbered from 5 to 9. A letter from these matrices can be represented first by its row and next by its column, e.g., ‘B’ can be represented by 00, 13 etc., and ‘A’ can be represented by 55, 69 etc.
