Solutions for questions 26 to 29:
According to the given code,
For r = 1, 2, 3 . . . . . . . 13 letters, the code for (r) th letter is (r + 6)th letters
For r = 1, the code is (r+ 6)th letter = 7 = G
r = 2, the code is (r + 6)th letter = 8 = H . . . so on
For r= 14, 15, 16 . . . . 19 letters, the code for
(r)th letter is (r ± 13)th letter
For r = 14, the code is (r ± 13)th letter = 1 = A
r = 15, the code is (r ± 13) th letter = 2 = B . . . . so on
For r = 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 letters, the code for
(r)th letter is (r + n)th letter where n = 6, 4, 2, 0, –2, –4, –6
For r = 20, the code is (r + n)th letter = 20 + 6 = 26 = Z
