This question was previously asked in
SSC Selection Post 2024 Question Paper (26-Jun-2024) (Shift-4)
The correct answer is
3

Code Language Explanation

This question involves a type of code language where letters in a word are replaced by specific digits.

We are given two examples:

  • The word 'YOUR' is coded as the number sequence '6543'.
  • The word 'LOAD' is coded as the number sequence '3129'.

The goal is to find the specific digit code assigned to the letter 'O' in this language.

Analyzing the Codes

Let's decode the letter-to-digit mapping from each example:

From 'YOUR' = 6543:

  • Y = 6
  • O = 5
  • U = 4
  • R = 3

From 'LOAD' = 3129:

  • L = 3
  • O = 1
  • A = 2
  • D = 9

Determining the Code for 'O'

By examining the word 'YOUR', we see that 'O' is assigned the code 5.

However, when we look at the word 'LOAD', the letter 'O' is assigned the code 1.

This presents a contradiction, as the letter 'O' has two different codes (5 and 1) based on the provided examples.

The question asks for the code for 'O' and provides options {6, 5, 1, 3}. The correct answer is indicated as 3.

Let's see where the digit 3 is used in the examples:

  • In 'YOUR' = 6543, the digit 3 represents the letter 'R'.
  • In 'LOAD' = 3129, the digit 3 represents the letter 'L'.

Although the provided examples do not directly show 'O' being coded as 3, based on the given correct answer, we conclude that the code for 'O' is 3. This situation might imply a more complex coding rule or an error in the question's examples.
