A cryptanalyst must translate into letters of all digits included in the following two lines of nine symbols each
9 3 3 4 5 6 6 6 7
2 2 3 3 4 4 5 7 8
The cryptanalyst has already determined some of rules governing the decoding
Rule 1-Each of the digits from 2 to 9 represents exactly one of the eight letters
A,E,I,O,U,R,S,T.
Rule 2-Each letter is represented by exactly one of the digits. If a digit occurs more than
once it represents the same letter on each occasion.
Rule 3-The letter T and the letter O are each represented exactly 3 times.
Rule 4-The letter I and the letter A are each represented exactly 2 times.
Rule 5-The letter E is represented exactly 4 times.
Based on above solve following Questions
Q1. If 9 represents vowel,it must represent which of following
Option 1- A
Option 2- E
Option 3- I
Option 4- O
Option 5- U
Q2. If 8 represents vowel which of the following must represent a consonant
Option 1- 2
Option 2- 4
Option 3- 5
Option 4- 7
Option 5- 9
Q3. If 2 represents R and 7 represents A, then 5 must represent
Option 1- I
Option 2- O
Option 3- S
Option 4- T
Option 5- U
Q4. Which of the following is a possible decoding of the five digit message 46536 ?
Option 1. O-T-A-E-T
Option 2. O-T-E-U-T
Option 3. O-O-S-E-O
Option 4. T-O-I-E-T
Option 5. T-O-R-E-T

- Puzzle Analysis: Frequency analysis 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
2 4 3 2 3 2 1 1
Applying Puzzle Rules I,A, ? E T,O I,A, ? T,O I,A, ?
U, R and S might be assigned by 8 and 9 with a letter each and 2,5 or 7 with the remaining letter
From the Frequency analysis:
2 - Due to Rule 4 can be I, A or one of the letters U, R or S
3 - Due to Rule 5 is the Letter E
4 - Due to Rule 3 can be T or O
5 - Due to Rule 4 can be I, A or one of the letters U, R or S
6 - Due to Rule 3 can be T or O
7 - Due to Rule 4 can be I, A or one of the letters U, R or S
8 - By exclusion of parts can be one of the letters U, R or S
9 - By exclusion of parts can be one of the letters U, R or S
Q1 result: U --------------------From the Puzzle rules, 9 could be either U or R or S, therefore the only vowel is U.

2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
I,A, ? I,A, ? I,A, ? U ?
Q2 result: 1), 3), 4) and 5) ---------------------If 8 is a Vowel then it is U, therefore 9 will be a consonant and the other consonant could be on 2 or 5 or 7
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
R I A
Q3 result: I ------------------------------------The Puzzle initial conditions analysis assigns 2,5 and 7 as possible positions for I and A, therefore when the question defines 2 as R and 7 as A then 5 by exclusion must be I

T, O T,O I,A, ? E T,O
T O U E O
O T U E T
T O I E O
O T I E T
T O A E O
O T A E T ------------> Option 1
T O R E O
O T R E T
T O S E O
O T S E T
Q4 result: Option 1 ------------------------------By applying the Puzzle rule 5, number 3 is E, therefore, Option 2 is eliminated. Number 6 is repeated in position 2 and 5, therefore, Option 4 and 5 are eliminated. Number position 1 and 2 cannot have the same letter, therefore, Option 3 is eliminated. the solution can only be Option 1 from the exclusion of parts.
