PYQ Question

67. If FRANCE is coded as 654321 and GERMANY is coded as 9158437, then how is YEMEN coded?

67. If FRANCE is coded as 654321 and GERMANY is coded as 9158437, then how is YEMEN coded?
  1. A. 54321
  2. B. 81913
  3. C. 71913
  4. D. 71813

Answer: D

Explanation

This is a direct letter-to-digit coding problem. We need to find the code for each letter in YEMEN from the given codes for FRANCE and GERMANY.

From FRANCE = 654321:
F=6, R=5, A=4, N=3, C=2, E=1

From GERMANY = 9158437:
G=9, E=1, R=5, M=8, A=4, N=3, Y=7

Let’s check for consistency across both codes:
* E is 1 in FRANCE and 1 in GERMANY. (Consistent)
* R is 5 in FRANCE and 5 in GERMANY. (Consistent)
* A is 4 in FRANCE and 4 in GERMANY. (Consistent)
* N is 3 in FRANCE and 3 in GERMANY. (Consistent)

Now, we can code YEMEN using these assignments:
* Y = 7 (from GERMANY)
* E = 1 (from FRANCE/GERMANY)
* M = 8 (from GERMANY)
* E = 1 (from FRANCE/GERMANY)
* N = 3 (from FRANCE/GERMANY)

So, YEMEN is coded as 71813. This question tests direct coding-decoding, a common type in reasoning aptitude.
