If WATCH = 4/5
MOUSE = 3/5
DOLL = 1/4
MASTER = 3/6
then BREAK =

OPtion

1) 4/5
2) 2/5
3) 3/5
4) 1/5
5) 5/5
6) 0/5

Solution

In WATCH 4 letters W, A, T & H out of 5 letters have suprimeposable mirror images, hence code is 4/5
Similarly in BREAK only A out of 5 letters has suprimeposable mirror image, hence code is 1/5

It is 1/5
..
the logic is Dr=mumber of alphabets the word is composd of
And Nr=no of letters in the words whose MIROR image is same as the letter itself,i.e No INVERSION takes place!
..
eg:WATCH hs W,A,T,H whose inversion doesnt take place!
..
BREAK hs only "A" with this property!
