In a certain code language, BROWNNOSER is written as 'CSQYQQSWJW'. How will SYCOPHANCY be written in that code?

  1. UAEQRJCPEA

  2. TZEQSKERHD

  3. TZDPQIBODZ

  4. TZEQSKERDZ

  5. None of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

First two letters are moved one step forward like BR = CS. Next two letters are moved two steps forward like OW = QY. Next two letters are moved three steps forward like NN = QQ. Next two letters are moved four steps forward like OS = SW. Next two letters are moved five steps forward like ER = JW.

Similarly, 'SYCOPHANCY' be written as 'TZEQSKERHD'.

If in a certain language, REGALIA is coded as BJMAFDQ, how is MAGNATE written in that code?

  1. FUBNFZN

  2. FUBNNZF

  3. NZFNBUF

  4. NBHOBPF

  5. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

First three letters are moved one step backward (REG = QDF), fourth letter is kept the same (A = A) and the last three letters are moved one step forward (LIA = MJB). Then, the whole code is reversed (QDFAMJB = BJMAFDQ). Similarly, MAGNATE is coded as FUBNFZN.

In a certain code language, HARRIER is written as TGKTTCJ. How is DUBIOUS written in that code?

  1. VXRLEXG

  2. GXELRXV

  3. UWQKDWF

  4. FWDKQWU

  5. None of these


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

This option is correct because all the letters are moved two steps forward. Then, the whole code is reversed. H = J, A = C, R = T, R = T, I = K, E = G, R = T HARRIER = reverse of JCTTKGT, i.e. TGKTTCJ. Similarly, DUBIOUS is written as UWQKDWF.

In a certain code language, the word MALLARD is coded as OCNNCTF. How will TENABLE be written in that code?

  1. VGPCCMF

  2. VGPCDNG

  3. GNDCPGV

  4. UFOBCMF

  5. None of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

All the letters are moved two steps forward. M = O, A = C, L = N, L = N, A = C, R = T, D = F Similarly, T = V, E = G, N = P, A = C, B = D, L = N, E = G

In a certain code, MODULATION is written as XXQAFQYGQN. How will GENEROSITY be written in that code?

  1. ICQZUWIQGH

  2. HGQIWICQZU

  3. UZQCIWIQGH

  4. HGQIWUZQCI

  5. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The first letter is moved one step forward, second letter is moved two steps forward, third letter is moved three steps forward and so on. Then, the whole code is reversed. MODULATION = reverse of NQGYQFAQXX, i.e. XXQAFQYGQN. Similarly, GENEROSITY is written as ICQZUWIQGH.

In a certain code language, the word ALEATORY is written as EHIWXKVU. How is the word CHARCOAL written in that code?

  1. GDENGKEH

  2. GLEVGSEP

  3. YDWNYKWH

  4. YLWVYSWP

  5. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The letters positioned at 1, 3, 5 and 7 are moved four steps forward and the letters positioned at 2, 4, 6 and 8 are moved four steps backward. So, A = E, E = H, T = X, R = V and L = H, A = W, O = K, Y = U. Similarly, CHARCOAL is written as GDENGKEH.

In a certain code, EDIFICE is written as NIJKJHN. How will LAGGARD be written in that code?

  1. GVBBVMY

  2. WIFLLFQ

  3. QFLLFIW

  4. LFQLIWF

  5. None of these


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All letters are moved five steps forward. Then, letters positioned at first and third are interchanged and at fifth and seventh are interchanged, and rest of the letters remained same. Similarly, LAGGARD is written as LFQLIWF.

In a certain code language, the word FREEHOLD is coded as HOGBJLNA. How will HARDSHIP be coded in that code?

  1. EXOAPEFM

  2. JCTFUJKR

  3. IBSETIJQ

  4. JXTAUEKM

  5. None of these


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Letters which are positioned at 1, 3, 5 and 7 are moved two steps forward and the other letters which are positioned at 2, 4, 6 and 8 are moved three steps backward. So, F = H, E = G, H = J, L = N and R = O, E = B, O = L, D = A. Similarly, H = J, R = T, S = U, I = K and A = X, D = A, H = E and P = M. So, HARDSHIP is written as JXTAUEKM.

In a certain code, ORIENT is written as @1%5$? and STARTLE is written as £?+1?35. How will ENTITLE be written in that code?

  1. 5$?%?35

  2. 5%?%?35

  3. 5$?%?15

  4. 1$?%?31

  5. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

O = @, R = 1, I = %, E = 5, N = $, T = ? Also, S = £, T = ?, A = +, R = 1, T = ?, L = 3 and E = 5 Similarly, E = 5, N = $, T = ?, I = %, T = ?, L = 3 and E = 5

  2. 7£@$5+75

  3. 1£@?5+15

  4. 7£@?$+7$

  5. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

R = $, E = 5, S = +, T = 1, O = £, R = $, E = 5 Also, U = < , L = ?, C = 7, E = 5, R = $, A = @, T = 1, and E = 5. Similarly, C = 7, O = £, A = @, L = ?, E = 5, S = +, C = 7 and E = 5.

In a certain code, SPONGE is written as ?6$£3% and TANKARD is written as &@£1@2+. How will NARRATOR be written in that code?

  2. £@33@&$3

  3. £1221&$2

  4. £@22@&62

  5. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

S = ?, P = 6, O = $, N = £, G = 3, E = % Also, T = &, A = @, N = £, K = 1, A = @ = R = 2 and D = +. Similarly, N = £, A = @, R = 2, R = 2, A = @, T = &, O = $ and R = 2.
