This question was previously asked in
UPSC CAPF – 2009
The correct option is A.
The coding is based on assigning a unique digit to each letter appearing in the given words.
From “WOMAN is coded as 12345”:
W -> 1
O -> 2
M -> 3
A -> 4
N -> 5

From “SERVANT is coded as 6789450”:
S -> 6
E -> 7
R -> 8
V -> 9
A -> 4 (Matches the code from WOMAN)
N -> 5 (Matches the code from WOMAN)
T -> 0

We need to find the code for “VOTERS”. We use the established codes for each letter:
V -> 9
O -> 2
T -> 0
E -> 7
R -> 8
S -> 6
Combining these, VOTERS is coded as 920786.

This is a direct substitution cipher where each letter is replaced by a specific digit. The key is built from the examples provided. It’s important to check for consistency in the codes for letters that appear in both example words (A and N).
