HINTS & SOLUTIONS

1. 4. The correct option is C LGGFT

T R E E
+1 -1 +1 -1 P R O S E
U Q F D +0 -1 +0 -1 +0
SIMILARLY P P O Q E.
L E A F The first, third and fifth letters are same but
+1 -1 +1 -1 in place of the second and the fourth letters,
M D B E previous two letters are used.
So, LIGHT is coded as LGGFT in this code.
2.
T E A R 5.
+2 -2 +2 -2 Here, the letters at odd places in the coded
V C C P word are one letter ahead of the letters in
the given word, and letters at even places
R O M E are one letter behind of the letters in the
+2 -2 +2 -2 given word as their positions in the
T M O C alphabet.
Similarly, GREATNESS is coded as
Similarly,
HQFZUMFRT.
Hence, option (B) is the correct answer.
W O R D
+2 -2 +2 -2
Y M T B 6. Each letter in the word is replaced by the
letter which occupies the same position
from the other end of the alphabet, to
3. The numbers are coded as shown: obtain the code.
3 9 4 6 1 8 7 Thus, MUNDANE will be coded as
P O A L R S E NFMWZMV
i.e.
9 as O, 7. Refer to the English alphabets:
4 as A, The rule of coding is +1 Every letter is
6 as L, moving one step forward
7 as E, ∴ BOMBAY is coded as CPNCBZ which is (b)
8 as S.
So, 94678 is coded as OALES. 8. The correct option is B UBIUBI

code.
For the word MADRAS, 17. Here only alternative letters are
M,D,A are removed and ARS is repeated increased by 1.
twice.
For the word MUMBAI, 18. From statement (B) and (C), 'hot' → 'ka'.
M,M,A should be removed and UBI is From statement (C) and (F), 'winter' → 'ble'.
repeated twice. By substituting above results in statement
Thus, the code for MUMBAI is UBIUBI. (C), we get the code for 'was' i.e. 'paa'.

9. We can decode this code from the 19. From statements (E) and (F), 'drops' →
question itself. 7,3,4 are in the second code 'qle' From statements (A) and (E), 'rain' →
and 2 is in the first code. From both codes, 'tu'.
7342 can be coded as WORD. By substituting above results in statement
(E), we get the code for the word 'fall' i.e.
10. 'sue'.
G R A D U A T E
+1 -1 +2 -2 +3 -3 +4 -4 20. From statements (D) and (F), 'clever' →
H Q C B X X X A tho. the code for the word 'reads' will be
SIMILARLY either 'pic' or 'joo', but we can't say which is
L A B O R A T O R Y exactly from both of these.
+1 -1 +2 -2 +3 -3 +4 -4 +5 -5
M Z D M U X X K W T 21. From statements (C) and (F), 'winter' →
+1 – 1 +2 – 2 +3 –3 +4 – 4 +5 -5 'ble'. From statements (A) and (E), 'rain' →
'tu'.
11. From statement (1) and (2), 'beautiful' From statements (A) and (B), 'is' → 'ne'. So,
→'3'. From statements (2) and (3), 'heavy' is coded as ' ju'.
'pleasant' →'5'. 'winter heavy rain' is coded as combination
of 'ble', 'tu', 'ju', which is in option-c.
12. From statement (1) and (2), 'is' → 6.
From statement (1) and (4), 'beautiful'→ 6. 22. From statements (A) and (B), 'is' → 'ne'.
Then from statement (4), we can say, From statements (B) and (C), 'hot' → 'ka'.
'flower' → 8. Substitute above results in
'summer' →'da'
13. Each letter in the word is moved one From statements (D) and (F), 'clever' → 'tho.
step forward and then first and last letters Thus, the code for 'summer is clever' is 'da
are interchanged. tho ne', which appears in option-a.

14. Each letter in the word is replaced by its 23. From statements (A) and (C), you' → '4'
opposite letter to obtain the code. From statements (C) and (E), 'can' → '9' &
'see'→'1'
15. A pair of two letters are reversed in
order. 24. The digit 'O' is in statement (D). So, from
statements (D) and (E), 'is' → '8' From
16. Solve this kind of questions using the statements (B) and (D), 'they' → '5' From
given options. The given code is obtained by statements (A) and (D), 'intelligent' → '2'

thus 'how' → '0'. Therefore, the decode of '0' JOY → POYJ
is 'how'. WING → PINGW
25. From statements (A), (B): '27'→ very
intelligent. From statements (B), (D): '25→
they intelligent'
From the above two statements, '2' →
Intelligent'.

26.
From statements (B) and (D), 'they'→ '5'.
From statements (C) and (E), 'can' →
'9'.From statements (A) and (C), 'you' → '4'.
So, 'see' → '1'.
Thus, the code for 'they can see' is '915'.

27. From the statements (D), (E): 'is' → '8'.

From statements (B), (D):
'they intelligent' → '2 5'.
So, 'how' → '0'.
From (A), (B): 'very intelligent' → '2 7'.
By comparing above two statements
'intelligent' → 2'.
So, 'very' → 7
Thus, the code for 'how very is' → '708'.
