• A. GREECE
• B. GEORGE
• C. CANADA
• D. SWEDEN

Hint:

When a numerical code is formed from words, create a complete letter-digit correspondence table before attempting to decode the required number.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Prepare the code table. From ENGLAND: \[ E=1,\quad N=2,\quad G=3,\quad L=4,\quad A=5,\quad D=6 \] From FRANCE: \[ F=7,\quad R=8,\quad C=9 \]

Step 2: Decode 381191. \[ 3=G \] \[ 8=R \] \[ 1=E \] \[ 1=E \] \[ 9=C \] \[ 1=E \] Therefore \[ 381191 = GREECE \]

Step 3: Select the answer. \[ \boxed{\text{GREECE}} \]
