893561
Answer: (d)
Since the given number-group begins with an even number and ends with an odd number,
so both the first and last digits
i.e. 8 and 1 shall be coded as Y.
9 is coded as M, 3 as E, 5 as R, 6 as T.
So, the code for 893561 is YMERTY.

743506
Answer: (c)
Since the first digit is an odd number and the last digit is an even number,
so both 7 and 6 shall be coded as X.
4 is coded as D, 3 as E, 5 as R, 0 as J.
So, the code for 743506 is XDERJX.

631420
Answer: (b)
Since the last digit is 0, so 0 shall be coded as W. 6 is coded as T, 3 as E, 1 as K, 4 as D, 2 as B.
So, the code for 631420 is TEKDBW.
Answer: (a)
As, B → 5 A → $ S → 3 K → % E → # T → 1 and T → 1 R → 4 I → * E → # D → 2
Similarly, S → 3 K → % I → * R → 4 T → 1
Therefore, SKIRT ⇒ 3%*41
Answer: (c)
As, S → 5 A → @ F → 3 E → # R → 2 and R → 2 I → © D → % E → #
Similarly, F → 3 E → # D → % S → 5
Therefore, FEDS → 3 # % 5
Answer: (d)As, R → % A → # I → £ D → $ and R → % I → £ P → @ E → ©
Similarly, D → $ E → © A → # R %
Therefore, DEAR ⇒ $ © # %
Answer: (b)
AS, S → 5 T → $ A → * R → 2 and T → $ O → 3 R → 2 E → @
Similarly, o → 3 A → * T → $ S → 5
Therefore, OATS ⇒ 3 * $ 5
Answer: (b)
As, R → 8 A → $ I → % N → 6 and M → 7 O → # R → 8 E → @
Similarly, R → 8 E → @ M → 7 A → $ I → % N → 6
Therefore, REMAIN ⇒ 8 @ 7 $ % 6
