Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Key idea: derive the digit assigned to each letter from the two given coded words, then apply that mapping to GEOLOGY.

  • G -> 9

  • E -> 1

  • O -> 5

  • L -> 7

  • R -> 6

  • Y -> 2

  • A -> 8

  • P -> 4

  • H -> 0

  • S -> 3

  1. Write the letters of the target word: G E O L O G Y

  2. Replace each letter using the mapping above: G -> 9, E -> 1, O -> 5, L -> 7, O -> 5, G -> 9, Y -> 2

  3. Concatenate the digits to get the final code.

Final code: 9157592
