Q163
ReasoningCoding-Decoding
If 73429186 denotes PURCHASE, and 54064 denotes ORDER, then what will 7452688 denote?
  1. a.PROGRES
  2. b.PROCEED
  3. c.PROGRAM
  4. d.PROCESS

Answer: (D) PROCESS

Each letter has a fixed digit. From PURCHASE = 73429186: P7, U3, R4, C2, H9, A1, S8, E6; from ORDER = 54064: O5, D0. So 7452688 reads P, R, O, C, E, S, S = PROCESS. PROCEED would end in 660, and PROGRES and PROGRAM need G and M, which have no code.
