Answer is Wrong!
This question was previously asked in
UPSC CAPF – 2013
From ‘PLANT’ is coded as ‘$@2*©’:
P -> $
L -> @
A -> 2
N -> *
T -> ©
From ‘YIELD’ is coded as β64@@%:
Y -> β
I -> 6
E -> 4
L -> @
D -> %
Notice that the letter ‘L’ appears in both words and is coded as ‘@’ in both instances, confirming the direct substitution rule.
We need to code the word ‘DELAY’. We find the corresponding code for each letter from the given information:
D is coded as % (from YIELD)
E is coded as 4 (from YIELD)
L is coded as @ (from PLANT or YIELD)
A is coded as 2 (from PLANT)
Y is coded as β (from YIELD)
So, the code for ‘DELAY’ is %4@2β.
