Solution :
Given:
PEN is written as 123, PENCIL is written as 123456, and CABLE is written as 48962.
Code each letter of the word PEN with the equivalent number given in the code word –
P→1; E→2; N→3;
And, PENCIL is written as 123456 –
P→1; E→2; N→3; C→4; I→5; L→6
And, CABLE is written as 48962 –
C→4; A→8; B→9; L→6; E→2
The common letters in PEN, PENCIL and CABLE are coded with the same number. Here, the common letters in PEN, PENCIL and CABLE are P, E, N, C and L, and the common codes are 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 in given words. All the numbers 6283123456 are available in the given word's code.
