In a certain code language, ‘TRIED’ is coded as ‘54123' and ‘TREAD’ is coded as ‘12365’. What is the code for ‘I’ in the given code language?

Question

Accepted Answer

Let's analyze the given codes:

Word 1: TRIED -> 54123  
Word 2: TREAD -> 12365

We need to find the code for 'I'.

Step 1: Identify the letters and their corresponding codes from both words.

From TRIED:  
T -> 5  
R -> 4  
I -> 1   
E -> 2  
D -> 3

From TREAD:  
T -> 1  
R -> 2  
E -> 3  
A -> 6  
D -> 5

Step 2: Notice that the code for 'I' appears only in TRIED and is 1.

Therefore, the code for 'I' is 1.

However, the options given are 4, 5, 6, and 1.

Wait, the initial mapping from TRIED is:  
T - 5    
R - 4    
I - 1   
E - 2   
D - 3 
 
From TREAD:       
T - 1    
R - 2  
E - 3  
A - 6  
D - 5

Notice that the code for 'T' is different in both words (5 and 1), so the code is not fixed per letter across words.

Let's try to find a consistent pattern.

Check the position of letters and their codes:

TRIED: T(1) R(2) I(3) E(4) D(5)  
Code: 5 4 1 2 3

TREAD: T(1) R(2) E(3) A(4) D(5)  
Code: 1 2 3 6 5

Look at the position of letters and their codes:

In TRIED:  
Position 1 (T) -> 5  
Position 2 (R) -> 4  
Position 3 (I) -> 1  
Position 4 (E) -> 2  
Position 5 (D) -> 3

In TREAD:  
Position 1 (T) -> 1  
Position 2 (R) -> 2  
Position 3 (E) -> 3  
Position 4 (A) -> 6   
Position 5 (D) -> 5

It seems the code is assigned based on the letter's position in the word but scrambled.

Look at the code digits in TRIED: 5 4 1 2 3  
Positions: 1 2 3 4 5  
Codes:     5 4 1 2 3

Look at the code digits in TREAD: 1 2 3 6 5         
Positions: 1 2 3 4 5     
Codes:     1 2 3 6 5

Notice that the code for 'I' in TRIED is 1.

Therefore, the code for 'I' is 1.

Hence, the correct answer is option 4: 1.
