In a certain code language, the word 'HEALTH' is written as 'IHFSCS'. then how will the word 'NEAR' is written in that language?

  1. OHFX

  2. OHFY

  3. MHFY

  4. HOFY

  5. None of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

This is the correct answer. According to the alphabetical position, code of the word 'HEALTH' is moving on the pattern of +1, +3, +5, +7, +9 and so on. HEALTH = IHFSCS Now, on following the given pattern, we get NEAR = OHFY

If in a code language, ROAD = 20 and GUN = 15, then what is the code for the word 'STAR'?

  1. 20

  2. 25

  3. 22

  4. 35

  5. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The number of letters in the word ROAD is 4. The code is obtained by multiplying 4 with 5, i.e. ROAD = 5 x 4 = 20 Similarly, GUN = 5 x 3 = 15 So, STAR = 5 x 4 = 20

If 'HONEY' can be written as 'KKSYF', then 'HAND' can be written as

  1. KWSX

  2. KWXS

  3. KWSJ

  4. KESX

  5. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

This is the correct answer because the code of word 'HONEY' is moving as +3, -4, +5, -6 and so on according to alphabetical position.

So, HONEY = KKSYF 

Similarly, HAND = KWSX  

If C = 9 and READ = 366, then what is the value of the word "FINE"?

  1. 340

  2. 361

  3. 300

  4. 338

  5. None of these


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

This is the correct answer. It is observed that C = square of alphabetical position of letter 'C' = 32 = 9, and READ = sum of squares of alphabetical positions of each letter of the word = 182 + 52 + 12 + 42 = 366 Therefore, FINE = 62 + 92 + 142 + 52 = 338

If "EAT" is coded as 100, then how will "RAT" be coded?

  1. 360

  2. 380

  3. 200

  4. 150

  5. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

E = 5, A = 1, T = 20 EAT = 5 x 1 x 20 = 100

R = 18, A = 1, T = 20 RAT= 18 x 1 x 20 = 360

In a certain code, "ORGANISE" is written as BHSPDRHM. How is "DARING" written in the same code?

  1. SBEFMH

  2. EBSJOH

  3. CZQHMG

  4. BSEFMH

  5. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Firstly divide the whole word in two equal parts: ORGA and NISE Reverse the order of letters, right to left of both parts: AGRO and ESIN Now, move +1 position in first part and -1 position in second part.  So, ORGANISE = BHSPDRHM, just like that: DARING = RADGNI = SBEFMH

In a certain code language, 'DAILY is written as 'ZMJBE'. How is 'CARDINAL' written in the same code language?

  1. DBSEJOBM

  2. DPSCMBJM

  3. MBOJESBD

  4. MBOJESDB

  5. None of these


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The code of the word 'DAILY' is moving on a pattern of reversing the letters of word from right to left and moving one step ahead according to alphabetical position. So, DAILY = ZMJBE Similarly, CARDINAL = MBOJESBD

In a certain code, 'BIND' is written as '1623' and 'TEAM' is written as '5874'. How is 'MIND' written in the same code?

  1. 4632

  2. 4623

  3. 4123

  4. 4683

  5. None of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

On comparing BIND = 1623 and TEAM = 5874, it is found that:
B = 1, I = 6, N = 2, D = 3, T = 5, E = 8, A = 7 and M = 4 Therefore, MIND = 4623  

What does 'fa' stand for?

Directions: Study the following information to answer the given question.

In a certain code, 'always create new ideas' is written as 'ba ri sha gi', 'ideas and new thoughts' is written as 'fa gi ma ri', 'create thoughts and insights' is written as 'ma jo ba fa' and 'new and better solutions' is written as 'ki ri to fa'.

  1. thoughts

  2. insights

  3. new

  4. and

  5. None of these


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

It is given that: 'always create new ideas' = ba ri sha gi, 'ideas and new thoughts' = fa gi ma ri, 'create thoughts and insights' = ma jo ba fa, 'new and better solution' = ki ri to fa, The only word common to the last 3 sentences is 'and' The only common code word is 'fa' Hence, 'fa' stands for' and' Thus, answer option 4 is correct

What is the code for 'ideas'?

Directions: Study the following information to answer the given question.

In a certain code, 'always create new ideas' is written as 'ba ri sha gi', 'ideas and new thoughts' is written as 'fa gi ma ri', 'create thoughts and insights' is written as 'ma jo ba fa' and 'new and better solutions' is written as 'ki ri to fa'.

  1. sha

  2. ba

  3. gi

  4. ma

  5. None of these


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

It is given that: always create new ideas = ba ri sha gi, ideas and new thoughts = fa gi ma ri, create thoughts and insights =  ma jo ba fa, new and better solution = ki ri to fa, From all these sentences and codes, it is found that and = fa, thoughts = ma, new = ri, ideas = gi, create = ba, always = sha, insights = jo and better/solution = ki/to. So, ideas = gi.

In a certain code language, 'FRIEND' is written as 'GTLISJ'. How is 'GREAT' written in the same code language?

  1. HTHEY

  2. HTHYE

  3. HHTEY

  4. THHEY

  5. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

This is the correct answer. The code of word 'FRIEND' is moving on the pattern +1, +2, +3, +4... letters ahead, according to the English alphabet. So, FRIEND = GTLISJ Similarly, GREAT = HTHEY

If H = 16 and TUNE = 120, then what is the value of 'GREAT'?

  1. 102

  2. 104

  3. 110

  4. 204

  5. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

This is the correct answer.  

If in a certain code language, the word 'SPRING' is written as 'HKIRMT', then how will the word 'SMILE' be written in the same code language?

  1. HNROV

  2. HMROV

  3. HNRPV

  4. HNROW

  5. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

This is the correct answer. According to the alphabetical positions, The starting position of 'S' = 19 and 19 is the ending position of 'H'; The starting position of 'P' = 16 and 16 is the ending position of 'K'; The starting position of 'R' = 18 and 18 is the ending position of 'I' and so on. Therefore, SMILE = HNROV

If in a certain code language, the word 'MENTION' is written as 4552965, then how will the word 'BROWN' be written in the same code language?

  1. 29758

  2. 29675

  3. 39655

  4. 29655

  5. None of these


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

This is the correct answer. Alphabetical position of 'M' = 13 and sum of digits = 1 + 3 = 4; Alphabetical position of 'E' = 05 and sum of digits = 0 + 5 = 5; Alphabetical position of 'N' = 14 and sum of digits = 1 + 4 = 5; and so on. 

So, MENTION = 4552965 Now, on following the same pattern, we get BROWN = 29655

If in a certain code language, the word 'CRAWL' is written as 'ZOXTI', then how will the word 'FRAME' be written in the same code language?

  1. CPXJB

  2. COXJB

  3. COXJC

  4. IUDPH

  5. None of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

This is the correct answer as each letter is coded with a letter that is three places preceding it.

C - 3 = Z  R - 3 = O A - 3 = X W - 3 = T L - 3 = I Similarly, F (ED) C R (QP) O A (ZY) X M (LK) J E (DC) B
