Q86

Question : How is 'DATE' written in the code language ? Statements : I. DEAR is written as #@? in that code. II. TREAT is written as %?#@% in that code. III. TEAR is written as %#@? in that code.

A.
Only I and II
B.
Only II and III
C.
All I, II and III
D.
Only I and either II or III
Answer
E.
None of these

Answer: Option D

Solution

Answer: Option D
Solution:
Observing I, II and III, we find that similar letters have similar code symbols at the corresponding places in the code. So, this is direct-coding.
Thus, to find the code for DATE, we need the code for D which can be obtained from I only (i.e. $.) and the codes for A, T and E which can be obtained either from II or III (@, # and % respectively).
