7. If BUS = 84, TRAIN = 124, then RIKSHAW =?
Sol. This is a Replacement question. Sol: B + U + S = 42, 42 * 2 = 84
Word : R E A S O N I N G T + R +A +I + N = 62, 62 * 2 = 124
Logic : +2 +2 +2 +2 +2 +2 +2 +2 +2 So, R + I + K + S + H + A + W = 89, 89 * 2 = 178
Code : T G C U Q P K P I
8. In a certain code if white is called as black, black
Similarly, the code for NUMARACY is as yellow, yellow as blue, blue as red, red as green,
Word : N U M A R A C Y green as orange, then what is the colour of milk in
Logic : +2 +2 +2 +2 +2 +2 +2 +2 that language?
Code: P W O C T C E A
Sol. The colour of milk is white and in this code white is
ANS: PWOCTCEA called Black. Hence, milk is Black in colour in that
language.
