What is the numeric code for Fine?

• A. 77
• B. 55
• C. 66
• D. 88

Answer: (B)

In this type of question, a fixed code maps letters to digits, and the word is converted according to that rule. Here, the key assigns the digit 5 to the letters F and E. Since Fine starts with F and ends with E, the code formed from the outer letters is 5 and 5, giving 55. The middle letters aren’t used by this particular rule, which is why you don’t get four digits. The other options would require the first or last letters to map to 7, 6, or 8, but the key assigns them all to 5.
