Option 1: 82145
Option 2: 98214
Option 3: 69218
Option 4: 95184
Correct Answer: 98214
Solution :
Given:
MASTER is written as 682145 and STAMP is written as 21869.
Common letters in the given words MASTER and STAMP are M, A, S, and T, and the codes for these common letters are 6, 8, 2, and 1, respectively.
From the above information, it is evident that each letter of the word is assigned a different code number, i.e., M→6; A→8; S→2; T→1; E→4; R→5; P→9
Therefore, using the above codes for PASTE –
P→9; A→8; S→2; T→1; E→4
Thus, PASTE is coded as 98214.
Only the second option follows the same pattern as followed by the given word. Hence, the second option is correct.
