In a certain code language, ‘WIFE’ is coded as ‘1852’ and ‘FIRE’ is coded as ‘7285’. What is the code for ‘R’ in the given code language?
7
To solve the problem of determining the code for 'R' in the given code language, let's analyze the provided examples systematically.
Given:
- 'WIFE' is coded as '1852'
- 'FIRE' is coded as '7285'
Objective: Find the code for 'R'.
We will use these examples to identify the code for each letter in the words 'WIFE' and 'FIRE'.
Analyzing 'WIFE' = 1852:
- 'W' = 1
- 'I' = 8
- 'F' = 5
- 'E' = 2
Analyzing 'FIRE' = 7285:
- 'F' = 7
- 'I' = 2
- 'R' = ?
- 'E' = 5
Now observe that 'E' consistently codes to '2' and '5'. However, each word seems to have a unique mapping:
- 'F' is coded separately as 5 in 'WIFE' and 7 in 'FIRE'.
- 'I' is coded as 8 in 'WIFE' and coded as 2 in 'FIRE'.
- 'W' uniquely uses 1.
- 'R' is the only character yet to be matched, with the digit 7 as the only left over, as it is used once in 'FIRE'.
By exclusion and matching logic, the code for 'R' must be '7'.
