1. In a certain code language, ‘find my book’ is coded as ‘tu en li’, ‘my new house’ is coded as ‘ab uv tu’, ‘book house tomorrow’ is coded as ‘li mo ab’. [Level 2 (16/06/2022) Shift 2]

(Note: All codes are two letter codes only)
What is the probable code for ‘new tomorrow’ in the given code language?

Correct Answer: (b) mo uv
Solution:

According to the question we have been given
“find my book = tu en li”
“my new house = ab uv tu”
“book house tomorrow = li mo ab”
In the above expression we can clearly see that “new and uv” are only in (ii) and “tomorrow and mo” are only in (iii). So we can say that new = uv and tomorrow = mo
Hence, “new tomorrow = uv mo”

2. In a certain code language, ‘PAINT’ is coded as ‘70’, and ‘POLISH’ is coded as ‘89’. [Level 2 (16/06/2022) Shift 2]

How will ‘CLEAN’ be coded in that language?

Correct Answer: (b) 45
Solution:

Add place value of all letters + 10
PAINT ⇒ (16 + 1 + 9 + 14 + 20) + 10 = 70
POLISH ⇒ (16 + 15 + 12 + 9 + 19 + 8) + 10 = 89
Similarly,
CLEAN ⇒ (3 + 12 + 5 + 1 + 14) + 10 = 45

3. In a certain code language, ‘MAIDEN’ is written as ‘ADEIMN’, and ‘SILVER’ is written as ‘EILRSV’. [Level 2 (16/06/2022) Shift 2]

How will ‘MAGNET’ be written in that language?

Correct Answer: (d) AEGMNT
Solution:

Arrange all the letters in alphabetical order.
MAIDEN ⇒ ADEIMN
SILVER ⇒ EILRSV
Similarly, MAGNET ⇒ AEGMNT

4. In a certain code language, ‘MONTH’ is written as ‘OMPHT’, and ‘MARCH’ is written as ‘AMTHC’. [Level 2 (16/06/2022) Shift 3]

How will ‘APRIL’ be written in that language?

Correct Answer: (a) PATLI
Solution:

5. In a certain code, ‘red fancy light’ is written as TK MD BH, ‘tomatoes are red’ is written as MD NG LS. [Level 2 (16/06/2022) Shift 3]

Which of the following is the code for ‘red’?

Correct Answer: (a) MD
Solution:

According to the question
“red fancy light” = TK MD BH
“tomatoes are red” = MD NG LS
We can see in the above given expression that “red” and MD are common in both (i) and (ii)
So we can say that “red = MD”

6. In a certain code language, ‘LEAF’ is written as ‘OGDH’, and ‘TREE’ is written as ‘WTHG’. [Level 2 (16/06/2022) Shift 3]

How will ‘STEM’ be written in that language?

Correct Answer: (c) VVHO
Solution:

7. In a certain code language, if ‘CELL’ is coded as ‘32’ and ‘PHONE’ is coded as ‘58’, how will ‘BOLD’ be coded in that language? [Level 3 (17/06/2022) Shift 1]

Correct Answer: (a) 33
Solution:

Adding place value of all letters
CELL ⇒ (3 + 5 + 12 + 12) = 32
PHONE ⇒ (16 + 8 + 15 + 14 + 5) = 58
Similarly,
BOLD ⇒ (2 + 15 + 12 + 4) = 33

8. In a certain code language, ‘OBTAIN’ is written as ‘NATBOI’ and ‘BEGGER’ is written as ‘RGGEBE’. [Level 3 (17/06/2022) Shift 1]

How will ‘RUGGED’ be written in that language?

Correct Answer: (d) DGGURE
Solution:

9. In a certain coding language, MORE is written as LNQD and STOP is written as RSNO. [Level 3 (17/06/2022) Shift 1]

How will TOY be written in that language?

Correct Answer: (a) SNX
Solution:

10. In a certain coding language TOTAL is written as 68 and PEN is written as 35. In the same language, what will OIL be written as? [Level 3 (17/06/2022) Shift 2]

Correct Answer: (c) 36
Solution:

Adding letter’s place value
TOTAL ⇒ (20 + 15 + 20 + 1 + 12) = 68
PEN ⇒ (16 + 5 + 14) = 35
Similarly,
OIL ⇒ (15 + 9 + 12) = 36
