1. In a certain code, CALANDER is written as CLANAEDR. How is CIRCULAR written in that code?
a) ICCRLURA
b) CRIUCLRA
c) ICRCLUAR
d) CRIUCALR
Explanation: The second and third letters, fourth and fifth letters, sixth and seventh letters of the word mutually interchange positions to form the code.
2. If in a certain language, EXECUTIVE is coded as TCIEUXVEE, the how is MAUSOLEUM coded in that language?
a) LSEUOAUMM
b) AUUCOSLMM
c) AUEUOSEMM
d) SLUEOAUMM
Explanation: Let us label the letters of the given word from 1 to 9. Then, the code contains the letters of the word in the order 6, 4, 7, 3, 5, 2, 8, 1, 9.
Thus we have :
MAUSOLEUM => LSEUOAUMM
123456789 => 647352819
3. In a certain code language, CREATIVE is written as BDSBFUJS. How is TRIANGLE written in that code?
a) BHSSFKHM
b) BHSSMHHF
c) BSHSFHKM
d) BSSHFMKH
Explanation: The letters in the first half and second half of the word are written n the reverse order and then in the group of letters so obtained, the first, third, fifth and seventh letters are each moved one step forward while the second, fourth, sixth and eighth letters are each moved one step backward to get the code.
Thus, we have :
TRIANGLE => TRIA/NGLE => AIRT/ELGN => BHSSFKHM.
4. In a certain code language, OMNIPRESENT is written as QJONPTSMDRD. How is CREDIBILITY written in that code?
a) DSFEJDDXSHKH
b) JEFSDCXSHKH
c) JEFSDDXSHKH
d) JEFSDDZUJMJ
Explanation: Keeping the middle letter as it is, the first five and the last five letters of the word are written in the reverse order. In the group of letters so obtained, the first five letters are each moved one step forward, the middle letter is moved two steps forward and the last five letters are each moved one step backward to get the code.
Thus, we have :
CREDI/B/ILITY => IDERC/B/YTILI => JEFSD/D/XSHKH
5. In a certain code language, ROUTINE is written as VMRGFLI. How will CRUELTY be written in that code language?
a) VPCVZRL
b) VPVCZRL
c) WPCVZRL
d) None of these
Explanation: Each letter in the word is replaced by the letter which occupies the same position from the other end of the English alphabet, and the group of letters so obtained is then written in the reverse order to get the code.
Thus, we have :
CRUELTY => XIFVOGB => BGOVFIX.
6. If STRONG is written as ROTNSG, then how would NAGPUR be written in the same code?
a) GPAUNR
b) PGUARN
c) PGAURN
d) GPUANR
Explanation: The code contains the letters of the word in the order - third, fourth, second, fifth, first and sixth.
7. In a certain code language, COMPUTER is written as RFUVQNPC. How is MEDICINE written in the same code?
a) EOJDEJFM
b) EOJDJEFM
c) MFEDJJOE
d) MFEJDJOE
Explanation: Each letter of the word except the first and the last letters, is moved one step forward and then the order of the letters so obtained, is reversed to get the code.
8. In a certain code language, BOARD is written as EQBNC. How will the word CLIMB be written in that language?
a) CLJKD
b) DKJLF
c) DNHMB
d) FNJRO
Explanation: The letters of the word are written in a reverse order and the group of letters so obtained, the first, third and fifth letters are each moved one step forward while the second and fourth letters are each moved one step backward to get the code.
9. In a certain code, MOTHER is written as ONHURF. How will ANSWER be written in that code?
a) NBXSSE
b) NBWRRF
c) MAVSPE
d) NBWTRF
Explanation: Divide the word into three groups of two letters each and write the letters of each group in the reverse order. In the group of letters so obtained, the second, fourth and sixth letters are each moved one step forward to get the code. Thus, we have : AN SW ER => NA WS RE => NBWTRF.
10. If in a certain code, CERTAIN is coded as XVIGZRM, SEQUENCE is coded as HVJFVMXV, then how would MUNDANE be coded?
a) NFMWZMX
b) NFMWZMV
c) NFMXZMV
d) None of these
Explanation: Each letter in the word is replaced by the letter which occupies the same position from the other end of the alphabet, to obtain the code.
