(QUESTIONS)
Question-1
If 'MIRROR' is coded as '13918181518' in a certain code
language, how will 'APPLE' be coded in the same
language?
(1) 11616125 (2) 3984145 (3) 1162254 (4)
11213147
Sol.
As we can see from the alphabet series, numeric values
for the alphabet M is 13, I is 9, R is 18 and O is 15.
Similarly, for the word APPLE, A = 1, P = 16, P = 16, L =
12 & E = 5. So, the code is 11616125. Therefore, option
(1) is the correct answer
Question-2
If EAT is 26, ZEAL is 44 and AROMA is 48. (A) How is
'HELMET written in the same language?
(1)23 (2) 63 (3) 83 (4) 53
Sol.
As we can see from the alphabet series, the words
EAT; E= 5, A =1, T=20
EAT=5+1+20= 26
ZEAL; Z=26, E=5, A= 1, L=12
ZEAL=26+5+1+12=44
AROMA; A =1, R=18, O=15, M=13
AROMA=1+18+15+13+1=48
Question-3
If EAT is 26, ZEAL is 44 and AROMA is 48. (B) How is
'MANAGER' written in the same language?
(1) 89 (2) 59 (3) 79 (4) 39
Sol. (write on your own)
Question-4
If in a certain language, 'IMAGE' is written as '571319',
then 'SMALL' will be written as
(1) 212113191 (2) 211211391 (3) 191311212 (4)
39421919
Sol.
According to the alphabet series, The code for "IMAGE"
is '913175'. When we reverse the order of this code, it is
written as '571319' which is the given code. Similarly,
for the word 'SMALL', the code according to the
alphabet series is '191311212'. When we reverse the
order of this code, we obtain '212113191', which is the
required code. Thus, option (1) is the correct answer.
Question-4
If the code in a certain language, for PAPER = 56 and
SHEET = 57, then for which of the following words is the
code 88 ?
(1) IRON (2) PUPPET (3) HELMETS (4) PARROT
Sol.
Option (1)
IRON
19, R 18 0 15, N14
9+18+15+14=56
Option (2)
PUPPET
Therefore, option (4)
P 16, U 21 P 16P 16,E 5,T 20 PARROT is the answer.
16+21+16+16+5+20= 91
Option (3)
HELMETS
H8, E5, L 12, M 13, E 5, T20, S 19
8+5+12+13+5+20+19= 82
Option (4)
PARROT
P 16, A 1, R 18, R 18,0 15, T 20 16+1+18+18+15+20= 88
