B. 81913
C. 71913
D. 71813✓ Correct

Detailed Solution

✓ Correct Answer: Option D

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.
