Decode the symbol string to letters using the given letter→symbol code. Code: A→@, C→#, D→$, E→%, M→^, S→&, N→*, R→α, Q→β, V→γ, L→δ Given symbols: ^ @ α γ % δ

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: MARVEL

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
Here a fixed set of letters is encoded as symbols. We must invert the mapping to recover the original word.


Given Data / Assumptions:

  • A→@, C→#, D→$, E→%, M→^, S→&, N→*, R→α, Q→β, V→γ, L→δ.
  • Symbol string: ^ @ α γ % δ.


Concept / Approach:
Translate each symbol back to its letter using the inverse of the given table.


Step-by-Step Solution:

^ → M@ → Aα → Rγ → V% → Eδ → LRecovered word: MARVEL


Verification / Alternative check:
Re-encode MARVEL using the forward code to obtain the same symbol sequence.


Why Other Options Are Wrong:

  • MASTER, MENACE, MASQUE: At least one letter in each does not match the decoded letters at a specific position (e.g., the third position must be R due to α).


Common Pitfalls:
Reading γ as G; it encodes V per the table.


Final Answer:
MARVEL
