In a certain code language, 'ZEAL' is coded as ' 9476 ' and 'LAME' is coded as '8694'. What is the code for ' M ' in the given code language?

Correct option is B

To solve this, we need to find the code for the letter 'M' by analyzing the given codes:

'ZEAL' = 9476

Z = 9

E = 4

A = 7

L = 6

'LAME' = 8694

L = 6

A = 7

M = ?

E = 4

By comparing the letters that are common between the two words:

·         L is common in both "ZEAL" and "LAME," and its code is 6 in both.

·         E is common in both, and its code is 4 in both.

·         A is common in both, and its code is 7 in both.

·         Now, to find the code for 'M', look at the position of 'M' in "LAME":

The missing digit in the code for 'LAME' is '8', which corresponds to 'M'.

Thus, the code for 'M' is 8.
