A letter–number code is given as follows (top row letters, bottom row numbers): C W E A Z X J Y K L / 3 9 5 7 4 8 1 0 2 6. Using this mapping, what is the code for J W X C L Z?

Answer
Correct Answer: 198364
Explanation
Introduction / Context:This is a direct lookup coding task. Each specified letter corresponds to a unique number as per the provided two-row table.
Given Data / Assumptions:
- C->3, W->9, E->5, A->7, Z->4, X->8, J->1, Y->0, K->2, L->6
- Target sequence: J W X C L Z
Concept / Approach:Substitute numbers for letters in the given order without reordering.
Step-by-Step Solution:J -> 1W -> 9X -> 8C -> 3L -> 6Z -> 4Hence the code is 198364.
Verification / Alternative check:Cross-check each mapping back to the table; all positions align.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
- 198264 / 198354 / 197354: each includes at least one digit mismatch compared to the mapping.
- None of these: Not needed, since 198364 is exact.
Common Pitfalls:Transposing digits for X and C or misreading L as 5 instead of 6.
Final Answer:198364
