In a queue, Vijay is fourteenth from the front and Jack is seventeenth from the end, while Mary is in between Vijay and Jack. If Vijay be ahead of Jack and there be 48 persons in the queue, how many persons are there between Vijay and Mary?

 The alphabets are coded as shown :

$$\begin{gathered} R O S ? E C H A I P \\ 6 8 2 1 7 3 4 5 9 \end{gathered}$$

So, in SEARCH,

S ia coded as 2,
E as 1,
A as 4,
R as 6,
C as 7,
H as 3.
Thus, the code for SEARCH is 214673

If each consecutive letter in "happiness" relates to the consecutive numbers in 517768399, then H=5, A=1, P=7, I=6, N=8, E=3 and S=9.

Using the numbers that relate to the letters in 'senipah', you will arrive at

SENIPAH = 9386715.

Hence, Happiness is to 517768399 as senipah is to 9386715.

 The alphabets in the given words are coded as follows :

$$\begin{gathered} M ? I ? S ? T ? A ? K ? E N D \\ 9 7 6 5 4 1 2 8 3 \end{gathered}$$

D is coded as 3,

I as 7,
S as 6,
T as 5,
A as 4  and
N as 8.
So, the code for DISTANT is 3765485.
