10. These questions are based on a certain code language.
Understand the logic in the coding and
answer the following questions.

PROCESSOR is coded as D4F3C5C1E1S1S1E3C6

a. QUADRANT

 Q1C7A1B2F6A1B7E4
 Q1D6A1B2F3A1B7E4

 Q1C7A1B2F3A1B7E4

 Q1C7A1D2C6A1B7E5

b. WINDOW

 W1E4B7B2E3W1
 W1C3B7B2E3W1

 W1C3B7B2C3W1

 W1C3G7B2E3W1
Answer & Explanations

1. Exp: Word: M U S E U M

Logic: -1 -2 -3 -4 -5 -6

Code: L S P A P G

Similarly, the code for PALACE is

Word: P A L A C E

Logic: -1 -2 -3 -4 -5 -6

Code: O Y I W X Y

2. Exp: The alphabets are coded as follows:

D E L H I C A U T

7 3 5 4 1 8 2 9 6

So, in CALICUT, C is coded as 8, A as 2, L as 5, U as 9 and T as 6.


Thus, the code for CALICUT is
8251896.

3. Exp: The code for the word DANCE is 21211.

4. Exp: Number of letters in the word CONTRACT = 8 and 8 x 7 = 56.

Number of letters in the word GROWTH = 6 and 6 x 5 = 30.

Similarly, DISTRIBUTION => 12 and 12 x 11 = 132.

5. Exp: In this product of the digits in the place-values of the letters


as per the alphabet is obtained
first and then added i.e, BLOCK

=> B = 2

L = 12 => 1 x 2 = 2

O = 15 => 1 x 5 = 5
C=3

K = 11 => 1 x 1 = 1

Now (2 + 2 + 5 + 3 + 1) = 13.

So, BLOCK = 13.

Similarly, SCIENCE = 38.

6. Exp: In this coding, the letters from either end of the word are
written, first a letter from the right
end and then a letter from the left end of the word and so on.
Hence DISTANCE is coded as
EDCINSAT.

Similarly, ACQUIRE is coded as EARCIQU.

7. Exp: It is given that 28 + 14 = 50 => (2 + 8) x (1 + 4)

=> 10 x 5 = 50 and 36 + 43 = 63 => (3 + 6) x (4 + 3)

=> 9 x 7 = 63 then 44 + 52 => (4 + 4) x (5 + 2) => 8 x 7 = 56.

8. Exp: 14 x 15 = 14 + 15 = 29 and 29 – 4 = 25.

26 x 42 = 26 + 42 = 68 and 68 – 4 = 64.

Similarly, 73 x 31 = (73 + 31) – 4 = 104 – 4 = 100.

9. Exp: In the first and second statements, the common code word is
‘kew’ and the common word is
‘she’. So, ‘kew’stands for ‘she’.

In the first and third statements, the common code word is


‘deko’ and the common word is
‘apples’. So, ‘deko’stands for ‘apples’.

10. a. Exp: PROCESSOR =>

P = 16 and D4 => 4 x 4 = 16 = P

R = 18 and F3 => 6 x 3 = 18 = R

O = 15 and C5 => 3 x 5 = 15 = O and so on.

Hence, PROFESSOR is coded as D4F3C5C1E1S1S1E3C6.

QUADRANT is coded as Q1C7A1B2F3A1B7E4.

b. Exp: WINDOW is coded as W1C3B7B2E3W1.


1) ‘ZYXW’ as coded as ‘ABCD’ then ‘STUV’ is coded as...........

Answer: Z – A, Y– B, X – C, W – D
V – E, U – F, T – G, S – H
STUV = HGFE
Answer = HGFE
Rule= front alphabet= back alphabet.

2) ‘ bcd’ is coded as ‘def’ then ‘True’ is coded as..........

Answer: b – d (+2)
c – e (+2)
d – f (+2)
+2 letters are considered in this code.
True – Vtwg
Answer = Vtwg.

3) ‘ Hyderabad ’ is coded as ‘Ixedszcze’ then ‘Chennai’ is coded as..............

Answer: H – I (+1)
Y – X (1–)
D – E (1+)
E – D (1-)
R – S (1+)
A – Z (1–)
B – C (1+)
A – Z (1– )
D – E (1+)
Here if we observe alternatively the letter increasing and one letter decreasing.
Chennai =dgfmozj
Answer = dgfmozj

Number coding: In this each alphabets or words are assigned to the numeric values we should observe
the given letters and the assigned values and use the same rule to find the value to of given code.
Some examples are given below:

1)Apple is coded as 25563, Rung is coded as 7148. Then purple is coded as

Answer:

PURPLE – 517563
Answer = 517563.

2)In a language A is coded as 1, B is coded as 2, ….. then FACE is coded as

Answer:

Then FACE = 6135


Answer = 6135.
3)PUSH is coded as 1234, ROUGH is coded as 65274. Then SOUP is coded as

Answer:

SOUP = 3521
Answer = 3521.

Substitution: In this section an object names are substituted with different object names. We should
carefully trace the substituion and answer given question. Some examples are given below:

1)‘book’ is coded as ‘pencil’, ‘pencil’ is coded as ‘mirror’, ‘mirror is coded as ‘book’. Then what is useful
to write on a paper?

Answer: Pencil is coded as mirror


Answer = mirror.

2)‘man is coded as ‘woman’, woman is coded as ‘girl’, ‘girl’ is coded as ‘boy’, ‘boy’ is coded as ‘worker’
then 6 years female is known as?

Answer: 6 years female = girl, but ‘girl’ is coded as ‘boy’.


Answer = boy.

3)‘Reds’ are ‘blues’, ‘blues’ are ‘whites’, ‘whites’ are ‘yellows’, ‘yellows’ are ‘oranges’, ‘oranges’ are
‘pinks’, then what is the colour of the sky?

Answer: Sky is blue, but blues are whites


Answer = white.
