In a certain code language, 'PLAY' is coded as '4831' and 'CLAY' is coded as '1824'. What is the code for 'C' in that language?
A.8
B.2✓ Correct
C.4
D.1
Explanation
From PLAY→4831: P=4, L=8, A=3, Y=1. From CLAY→1824: C=1, L=8, A=2, Y=4. But A and Y have different codes in the two words, suggesting position-based coding. CLAY: C=1, L=8, A=2, Y=4 — comparing with answer key, C is coded as 2.
