Q-1)   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:

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.

    Q-2)    What does R%LAK& represent?

    (a)

    (b)

    (c)

    (d)

    Explanation:

    R, %, L, A, K and % are codes for 0, 6, 9, 7, 2 and 1 respectively.


    Q-3)   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.

    Q-5)   What will be the code for 764981?

    (a)

    (b)

    (c)

    (d)

    (e)

    Explanation:

    Since the number begins and ends with an odd digit,

    so 7 shall be coded as Y and 1 as #.

    The codes are 6, 4, 9, 8 are %, M, L, $ respectively.

    So, the required code is Y % ML$#.


    Q-6)   If REQUEST is written as S2R52TU, then how will ACID be written?

    (a)

    (b)

    (c)

    (d)

    (e)

    Explanation:

    Clearly, vowels A, E, I, O, U are coded as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 respectively.

    Each of the consonants in the word is moved one step forward to give the corresponding letter of the code.

    So, the code for ACID becomes ID3E.

    (a)

    (b)

    (c)

    (d)

    (e)

    Explanation:

    so 2 shall be coded as β and 0 as X. The codes for 7, 8, 1, 4 are A, $, β, M respectively.

    So, the required code is βA$&MX.


    Q-8)   f in a certain code language 'RAID' is written as '% # £ $' and 'RIPE' is written as '% £ @ ©', then how will 'DEAR' be written in that language?

    (a)

    (b)

    (c)

    (d)

    Explanation:
    As, R → % A# I → £ D → $ and R → % I → £ P → @ E → ©

    Similarly, D → $ E → © A → # R %

    Therefore, DEAR ⇒ $ © # %


    Q-9)   If in a certain code language 'STAR' is written as '5 $ * 2', 'TORE' is written as '$ 3 2 @', then how will 'OATS' be written in that language?

    (a)

    (b)

    (c)

    (d)

    (e)

    Explanation:

    AS, S5 T$ A* R → 2 and T$ O3 R → 2 E → @

    Similarly, o → 3 A → * T → $ S → 5

    Therefore, OATS ⇒ 3 * $ 5


    Q-10)   In a certain code, 'DOWN' is written as '5@9#' and 'NAME' is written as '#6%3'. How would 'MODE' be written in that code?

    (a)

    (b)

    (c)

    (d)

    (e)

    Explanation:

    As, D5 O@ W → 9 N → # and N → # A → 6 M% E3

    Similarly, M → % O → @ D → 5 E → 3

    Therefore, MODE ⇒ % @ 53
