Exception I:

If a number begins and ends with a non-zero odd digit, then the first and last digits are to be coded as Y and * respectively.

Exception II:

Which of the following numbers can the code YH₹ME* represent?



  • (I) 138450
  • (II) 338457
  • (III) 538459
  • (IV) 438458
  1. (I) and (III) only
  2. (II) and (IV) only
  3. (III) and (IV) only
  4. (II) and (III) only

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: D - (II) and (III) only
From the table, H = 3, ₹ = 8, M = 4 and E = 5, so the middle digits are 3845. Y and * show that Exception I applies: the number begins and ends with a non-zero odd digit. 338457 (3 … 7) and 538459 (5 … 9) fit; 138450 ends in 0, and 438458 begins and ends with an even digit, so it would take β and X. So (II) and (III).
