Question: How is 'DATE' written in the code language? Statements: DEAR is written as $#@? in that code. TREAT is written as %?#@% in that code. TEAR is written as %#@? in that code,

Only I and II
Only II and III
All I, II and III
Only I and either II or III
None of these

Correct Answer: Only I and either II or III

Explanation:

Observing I, II and III, we find that similar letters have similar code symbols at the corresponding places in the code. So, this is direct-coding.

Thus, to find the code for DATE, we need the code for D which can be obtained from I only (i.e. $.) and the codes for A, T and E which can be obtained either from II or III (@, # and % respectively).
