In a certain code language, 'NEAR' is coded as 4968 and 'REAP' is coded as 9865. What is the code for 'P' in the given code language?

Correct option is C

Let's analyze how the words "NEAR" and "REAP" are coded:
NEAR is coded as 4968
REAP is coded as 9865
Now, let's examine how each letter corresponds to the number:
For NEAR → 4968:
N → 4
E → 9
A → 6
R → 8
For REAP → 9865:
R → 9
E → 8
A → 6
P → 5
Thus, from the pattern, we can see that P is coded as 5.
Answer:
C. 5
