If PLAY is coded as 8123 and RHYME is coded as 49367 how would MALE be coded ?

6217
6198
6395
6285

The correct answer is (d) 6285.

In the code, each letter is assigned a number from 1 to 26, in alphabetical order. The letter P is assigned the number 8, the letter L is assigned the number 1, the letter A is assigned the number 2, and so on.

To code the word PLAY, we assign the corresponding numbers to each letter: P = 8, L = 1, A = 2, Y = 25. This gives us the code 8123.

To code the word RHYME, we assign the corresponding numbers to each letter: R = 18, H = 8, Y = 25, M = 13, E = 5. This gives us the code 49367.

To code the word MALE, we assign the corresponding numbers to each letter: M = 13, A = 2, L = 1, E = 5. This gives us the code 6285.
