If in a certain code language, SAGE is written as 4169 and PERT is written as 7928, then how will STEP be written in that language?
Answer: A. 4897 — Each letter is assigned a fixed digit. From the two clues: SAGE = 4169 gives S=4, A=1, G=6, E=9. PERT = 7928 gives P=7, E=9, R=2, T=8. The letter E maps to 9…

Correct answer: A
Each letter is assigned a fixed digit. From the two clues:
SAGE = 4169 gives S=4, A=1, G=6, E=9.
PERT = 7928 gives P=7, E=9, R=2, T=8.
The letter E maps to 9 in both clues, which confirms the coding is consistent.
Now apply the mapping to STEP: S=4, T=8, E=9, P=7.
Therefore STEP = 4897.
