1. If GOLD is written as IQNF, how WIND can be written in the code?
YKPF
VHMC
XJOE
DNIW
Answer (a). The code followed is A --> C; B --> D; .... G --> I; W --> Y etc. Shortcut: D is common in both GOLD and WIND, and F is common at the last position in both IQNF and YKPF.
2. If HKUJ means FISH, what does UVCD mean?
STAR
STAB
STAL
STAK
Answer (b). The code followed is H --> F; K --> I; U --> S; J --> H (i.e. second letter backwards). Thus U --> S; V --> T; C --> A; D --> B.
3. If NOIDA is written as STNIF, how can MEERUT be written in that code?
QIIVYX
RJJWZV
RJJWZY
RIIVYX
Answer (c). Each letter is replaced by the 5th letter following it. Thus N is replaced by S leaving O, P, Q and R in between.
4. In a certain code FORGET is written as DPPHCU, how would DOCTOR be written in that code?
BPAUMS
BPAUPS
EMDRPP
BPARPP
Answer (a). The letters at odd places i.e. 1st, 3rd, 5th are moved backwards by two letters. Thus F becomes D; R becomes P and E becomes C and the letter at even place moves one letter forward, thus O becomes P, F becomes H and T becomes U. Therefore in DOCTOR, D would become B, C would become A and O would become M. Only option (d) satisfies the condition.
5. In a certain code DECEMBER is written as ERMBCEDE, in that code which word will be written as ERMBVENO?
SEPTEMBER
AUGUST

OCTOBER
Answer (c).
6. If RED is coded as 6720, then how GREEN would be coded?
9207716
1677199
1677209
16717209
Answer (c). RED -> DER -> 4 - 5 - 18 -> 6 - 7 - 20
GREEN -> NEERG -> 14 - 5 - 5 - 18 - 7 -> 16 - 7 - 7 - 20 - 9 The numbers are 12 + 1, 22 + 1, 32 + 1, 42 + 1 and so on.
7. If ROSE is written as TQUG, how BISCUIT can be written in that code?
CJTDVJU
DKVEWKV

Answer (d). Each letter is replaced by the second letter following it. R is replaced by T and B is replaced by D.
8. If the word MENTAL is written as LNDFMOSUZBKM, then how would the word TEST be written in that code?
UVFGTUUV
RSCDQRRS
SUDFQRSU
SUDFRTSU
Answer (d). Each letter is replaced by two letters - one preceding and the other succeeding it. Thus for T, S and U are used and for E, D and F are used.
9. If TYPEWRITER is written as GBKVDIRGVI, how STENO can be written in that code?
LMVGH
HGVML
LMHGV
HVLGM
Answer (b). The letters are replaced with letters in the same position from the end. Thus T which is 20th letter reading from A is replaced by G which is the 20th letter reading from Z. See the image on the top of the page.
10. If KASHMIR is written as 8142753, how can RIMSHAK be written in that code?
3574218
3571842
3521478
3574812
Answer (a). We need to just replace the words with numbers in proper order. R represents number 3 simillarly I -> 5, M -> 7, S -> 4, H -> 2 and K -> 8. Hence the answer is 3-5-7-4-2-1-8
11. If in a code language as ORGANISATION is written as CBDWLQJWYQCL and OPERATION is written as CXFBWYQCL, how is SEPARATION coded?
EJXEBEYQCL
JFQYWBCXQL
JFXWBWYQCL
QCLYWBFXJE
Answer (c). Without going into detailed decoding, it can be seen that only answer (c) has the common alphabets WYQCL which correspond to common leters TION in the given words.
12. In a particular way of coding, the word CENTRAL is coded as ABCDEFG and PLAN-ETARIUM as HGFC-BDFEIJK. With the same coding how can we express the word LANTERN?
GFCDFEG
GFCDBEC
GFCDEFG
GFCDBEB
Answer (b).From the code given for CENTRAL, it is clear that separate alphabets have been assigned to each alphabet in the original word. It is also seen that the word LANTERN can be formed from the word central.
13. In a certain code language BLOOD is written as EIRLG. How will the word PERIOD be written in that code language?
SBURAF
SBUFRA
SUFBAR
RBUFSA
Answer (b). Letters in the odd place (B, O and D) are replaced with a letter 3 places forward in the alphabet and letters in the even place (L and O) are replaced with a letter 3 places behind in the alphabet. Thus P (in the word PERIOD) is written as S (leaving Q and R) and D is written as A (leaving C and B). That leaves us with only on choice i.e. (b).
14. In a certain code language INCORPORATE is written as HCGJSLJSXHO and PELMET is written as LOFDOH. How will the word MOLTEN be written in that code language?
XHOTOR
DJFHOC
LDOHCG
FRTECO
Answer (b). Picking up the common letters in the example word T corresponds to H and E corresponds to O. In the choices, only (b) has H and O in the 4th and 5th place.
15. If the word ‘STOVE’ can be written as ‘FNBLK’ how can the word ‘VOTES’ be written in that code?
LBNKF
LNBKF
LKNBF
FLKBN
Answer (a). The corresponding letters are just required to be rearranged since VOTES is formed from STOVE. S -> F, T -> N, O -> B and so on, which gives us LBNKF.
16. If ‘PAPER’ is written as ‘OZODQ’, how can ‘PENCIL’ be written in that code?
QFODJM
OFOBHM
ODMDJM
ODMBHK
Answer (d). Each letter in the given word is replaced by the letter preceding it in the English alphabet. Thus, the first letter P becomes O and the last letter L becomes K. Only option (d) satisfies the condition.
17. In a coding system PEN is written as NZO and BARK as CTSL. How can we write PRANK in that coding system?
NZTOL
CSTZN
NSTOL
NTSLO
Answer (c). P -> N, R -> S, A -> T and N -> O. Therefore answer is NSTOL
18. If BROTHER is coded as 2456784, SISTER is coded as 919684, what is the code for ROBBERS?
1815 225
4562 684
9245 784
4522 849
Answer (d). E and R which are common to both the given words and placed at the end correspond to 84. In ROBBERS, ER is placed before S and thus the answer code should contain 84 before the last number. Only option (d) satisfies the condition. The answer is further checked by the numbers 22 which corresponds to BB as B -> 2 in the first example.
19. If MIND becomes KGLB and ARGUE becomes YPESC then what will DIAGRAM be in that code?
GLPEYKB
BGYEPYK
LKBGYPK
BGYPYEK
Answer (b). Each letter in the given word is replaced with the letter which is 2 places behind it in the English alphabet. Thus M becomes K leaving L in between. By the same logic, we get BGYEPYK for DIAGRAM.
20. If GLARE is coded as 67810 and MONSOON as 2395339 then how can RANSOM be coded?
183952
198532
189352
189532
Answer (d).
21. In a certain code the words COME AT ONCE were written as XLNVZGLMXV, in the same code which of the following would be ‘OK’?
LM
LP
KM
KL
Answer (b). The letters are replaced by corresponding letters in the same place but in the reverse order. Thus A which is the first letter is replaced by Z which is the last letter. The 3rd letter C is replaced by X which is 3rd from the other end. See figure at the top of the page for guidance.
22. If STUDENT is coded as TSVCFMU, which word would be coded as TGBBLKF?
SHERBET
SHINGLE
SHACKLE
SCHOLAR
Answer (c). The letters in the odd places viz. S, U, E, T are replaced by letters succeeding them i.e. T, V, F, U and the letters in the even places viz. T, D, N are replaced by letters preceding them i.e. S, C, M. Thus T, B, L, F in the question code should be replaced by letters preceding them i.e. S, A, K, E and G, B, K would be replaced by letters succeeding them i.e. H, C, L. The word would thus be SHACKLE
23. If GARDEN is coded as 325764 and WATER as 92165, how can we code the word WARDEN in the same way?
925764
295764
952764
957264
Answer (a). The last 5 letters of the word GARDEN and WARDEN are same. Hence look for 25764 in the answer.
24. If the word EARTH be written as QPMZS in coded words, how can HEART be written following the same coding?
SQMPZ
SQPZM
SQPMZ
SPQZM
Answer (c). The first 4 letters of the word EARTH and the last 4 letters of the word HEART are same. So look for QPMZ in the answer.
25. If ‘BE QUICK’ is coded as ‘ZCOSGAI’, then the code of last letter of third word in the sentence I LOVE MY COUNTRY is
W
U
T
A
Answer (a). Each letter in the word has been replaced by a letter 2 places behind in the English alphabet. Thus E -> C, K -> I etc. In the question, the last letter of the third word is Y. The letter which is 2 places behind Y is W.
