Question

In a certain code language, ‘PLAYER’ is written as ‘543976’, ‘DARE’ is written as ‘8367’. What is the code for ‘YELP’ in that code language?

The correct answer is

9745

Decoding the PLAYER and DARE Code Logic

This question involves a simple substitution cipher where specific letters are assigned specific numbers. We need to identify this pattern using the given examples and then apply it to find the code for the word 'YELP'.

Analyzing the Given Codes

We are given two words and their corresponding codes:

  • 'PLAYER' is coded as '543976'
  • 'DARE' is coded as '8367'

Establishing Letter-to-Number Mapping

Let's break down each word and its code to find the mapping for each letter:

From 'PLAYER' = '543976':

  • P = 5
  • L = 4
  • A = 3
  • Y = 9
  • E = 7
  • R = 6

From 'DARE' = '8367':

  • D = 8
  • A = 3
  • R = 6
  • E = 7

Verifying Consistency

We can check if the letters common to both 'PLAYER' and 'DARE' have the same code:

  • 'A' appears in both and is coded as '3'.
  • 'R' appears in both and is coded as '6'.
  • 'E' appears in both and is coded as '7'.

The mappings are consistent across both examples.

Finding the Code for 'YELP'

Now, we use the established mappings to find the code for 'YELP':

  • Y: From 'PLAYER', the code for 'Y' is 9.
  • E: From 'PLAYER' (and 'DARE'), the code for 'E' is 7.
  • L: From 'PLAYER', the code for 'L' is 4.
  • P: From 'PLAYER', the code for 'P' is 5.

Combining these codes, the code for 'YELP' is '9745'.

Summary Table

Here is a summary of the letter-to-number mappings derived:

Letter Code
P 5
L 4
A 3
Y 9
E 7
R 6
D 8
