In a certain code BOLD is written as '5#3%' and LEARN is written as '37$@2. How is BREAD written in that code?

  1. 5@$7%
  2. 5%@7$
  3. 57@$%

  4. None of these

D Correct answer
Explanation

From BOLD→5#3%, LEARN→37$@2, the mapping is: B=5, O=#, L=3, D=%, E=7, A=$, R=2. For BREAD: B=5, R=?, E=?, A=?, D=%. But R=2 from LEARN, so BREAD should be 52$7%. This doesn't match any option, so 'None of these' is correct.

AI explanation

To decipher the given code, let's analyze the patterns in the given examples:

BOLD = 5#3% LEARN = 37$@2

Comparing the original words with their coded versions, we can observe the following patterns:

  1. Each letter is replaced by a symbol or a special character.
  2. The position of the letter in the word is represented by a number.
  3. The sequence of symbols or characters remains the same.

Using these patterns, we can decode the word BREAD:

B = 5 (position of B in the word) R = @ (position of R in the word) E = $ (position of E in the word) A = 7 (position of A in the word) D = % (position of D in the word)

So, the coded form of BREAD would be 5@7$%.

None of the given options matches the decoded version, so the correct answer is D) None of these.
