Directions:

Read the following information to answer the questions that follow.

In the following questions, two Column I and II have been given. In Column I, few words are given and in Column II, their codes have been given using a particular rule. The order of the smaller letter have been placed in jumbled up form.

Q-2)   What is the code for the letter N?

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

In statements (i) and (ii), common letters are I and N and common codes are b and k.

Therefore, it is clear that IN stands for bk but not necessarily in the same order. From statement (vi), it is clear that the word has letter N and code k is given for it.

Hence, code for N is k.

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

From statements (iii) and (v),

it is clear that TOR = ywc.

From statements (ii), OR = yc.

From statement (vi), R = c.

Hence, O = y.

Q-4)   What is the code for the letter S?

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

From statements (i) and (iv),

it is clear that SIG = ubj.

From statement (i), we have already found that

I = b.

Therefore, SG = uj.

Now, from statement (vi), G = j,

therefore S = u.


Q-5)   If REASON is coded as 5 and BELIEVED as 7, then what is the code for GOVERNMENT?

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Clearly, each word is coded by the numeral which is 1 less than the number of letters in the word. Since there are 10 letters in the word GOVERNMENT,

so required code = 10 - 1 = 9.


Directions:

In each of the questions given below, a group of digits followed by four combinations of letter codes labelled (a), (b), (c) and (d) are given. You have to find out which of the combinations is correct coded form of the group of digits as per the following codes and conditions. If none of these four combinations is correct, give your answer as (e). i.e., 'None of these' as the answer.

Digit 9 3 2 8 1 5 7 6 4 0
Letter Code M E B N K R H T D J
Conditions:
  1. If the first digit is an odd number and the last digit is an even number, both are to be coded as 'X'.
  2. If the first digit is an even number and the last digit is an odd number, both are to be coded as 'Y'.
  3. If either the first or the last digit is 0, then 0 is to be coded as 'W'.

Q-7)   631420

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

(e)

Explanation:

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.


Q-8)   If ZEBRA can be written as 2652181, how can COBRA be written?

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Putting  A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, ……, X = 24, Y = 25, Z = 26,

we have: ZEBRA > Z/E/B/R/A > 26/5/2/18/1 > 2652181.

COBRA > C/O/B/R/A > 3/15/2/18/1 > 3152181.


Directions:

Study the following information carefully to answer these questions:

The digits from 0 to 9 are coded as shown below along with the exceptions I and II.

Digit 3 8 0 7 4 6 9 2 5 1
Letter Code H $ R A M % L K E &
Exception I:
  • If a number begins and ends with a non - Zero odd digit, then the first and the last digits are to coded as Y and # respectively.
  • Exception II:
  • If a number begins and ends with an even digit (including Zero), then the first and the last digits are to be coded as β and X respectively.
