Question 1

In a certain code, '289' means 'read from paper'; '276' means 'tea from field' and '85' means 'wall paper'. Which of the following is the code for 'paper' ?

Accepted Answer

Justification: In the first and second statements, the common digit is '2' and the common word is 'from'. So, '2' is the code for 'from'. In the first and third statements, the common code digit is '8' and the common word is 'paper'. So, '8' is the code for 'paper'. As shown above, '8' is the code for 'paper'.

Question 2

In a certain coding language, iF GO = 32 & SHE = 49 then SOME will be equal to ?

Accepted Answer

If we count letters till the end of the alphabet including that letter in reverse order then Here the values are nothing but the values corresponding to the alphabets when taken in a reverse order,i.e,A=26 ,B=25...,Z=1 G = 20 and O = 12 totaling 32 S = 8, H = 19 and E = 22 totaling 49 So SOME = 8 + 12 + 14 + 22 = 56.

Question 3

In a certain code language " given time simple plan " is written as ' @E4 &N4 %N5 #E6 ' " tired solution plant great " is written as ' #N8 @D5 %T5 &T5 ' " sick point good turn " is written as ' #K4 %D4 @N4 &T5 ' " garden sister phone team " is writt…

Accepted Answer

plan is given in first step. Total count of letters is 4 and last letter is N and ‘p’ is coded as & so Final answer will be- &N4 We have to find 'translate' code. As we can see that this word is not given in any steps but as we know the idea of that so we can solve it. Step I: first we will count the letters of that word that is 9, then we put digit 9 at the right end. Step II: we will put the last letter of that word then it will like- E9 Step III: at the last step ‘t’ is coded for ‘@’(first letter of each word is coded by a specific symbol like here ‘t’ is coded for ‘@’. We can find the first coded symbol by looking at the other given words. Answer will be - @E9

Question 4

FRIEND : FPIBNZ :: PATRON : ?

Question 7

Happiness is to 517768399 as senipah is to

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 8
