Question 12
In a code language, VICTORY is written as CIVSYRO. How will TRAITOR be written in that language ?
The pattern followed is,
Reverse the first 3 letters
Replace the next letter by the letter before it in the english alpabets
Reverse the last 3 letters
Therefore:
VICTORY→ CIVSYRO
TRAITOR → ARTHROT
Thus the correct option is D. ARTHROT

Question 13
If FLOWER is coded as 14 and DISTASTE is coded as 18, then how will BUREAUCRAT be coded as ?
In the word FLOWER there are 6 letters in the word: 6 × 2 = 12; 12 + 2 = 14
Also in the word DISTANCE there are 8 letters in the word: 8 × 2 = 16; 16 + 2 = 18
Similarly,
In the BUREAUCRAT there are 10 letters in the word: 10 × 2 = 20; 20 + 2 = 22
Hence, option A. 22 is the correct correct.

Question 14
In a code language if FRIDGE is written as GTLHLK, then in the same language, how will you write the word KETTLE?
FRIDGE is written as GTLHLK
In the word FRIDGE:
| Refrence Letter | F | R | I | D | G | E |
| Shift | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
| New Letter | G | T | L | H | L | K |
Similarly:
The word KETTLE
| Refrence Letter | K | E | T | T | L | E |
| Shift | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
| New Letter | L | G | W | X | Q | J |
Thus the correct option is B. LGWXQK

Question 15
If CAB is coded as 6 and BED is coded as 40,then how will HAD be coded as ?
In the word CAB:
| Letter | C | A | B |
| Position | 3 | 1 | 2 |
| Product | 3 x 1 x 2 = 6 | ||
Similarly:
The word BED
| Letter | B | E | D |
| Position | 2 | 5 | 4 |
| Product | 2 x 5 x 4 = 40 | ||
Therefore:
The word HAD
| Letter | H | A | D |
| Position | 8 | 1 | 4 |
| Product | 8 x 1 x 4 = 32 | ||
Thus the correct option is C. 32

Question 16
In a code language, if ‘VERY’ is written as ‘UDQX’ ,then in the same language, how will you write the word ‘URGENT’?
In the word VERY:
| Letter | V | E | R | Y |
| Shift | -1 | -1 | -1 | -1 |
| New Letter | U | D | Q | X |
Similarly:
The word URGENT
| Letter | U | R | G | E | N | T |
| Shift | -1 | -1 | -1 | -1 | -1 | -1 |
| New letter | T | Q | F | D | M | S |
Thus the correct option is D. TQFDMS

If SMOKE is coded as 81643 and PRANK is coded as 72954, how would you code ROSE ?
If SMOKE is coded as 81643 and PRANK is coded as 72954, how would you code ROSE ?
In the word VERY:
| Letter | S | M | O | K | E |
| Code | 8 | 1 | 6 | 4 | 3 |
| Letter | P | R | A | N | K |
| Code | 7 | 2 | 9 | 5 | 4 |
Thus the word ROSE is coded as D. 2683

Question 18
In a coded language, REGULAR is written as GERTRAL. How will BROTHER be written in that language ?
REGULAR is written as GERTRAL. How will BROTHER
The pattern is as follows:
Reverse the first 3 letters
Shift the middle letter to the left
Reverse the last 3
REGULAR → GERTRAL
Similarly, BROTHER → ORBSREH
Thus the correct option is: A

Question 19
If EAGER is coded as 51759, then how will CADET be coded ?
To decipher the code, let's try to understand the pattern:
EAGER is coded as 51759.
It appears that each letter in the original word is mapped to a number, possibly based on its position in the alphabet. Let's check if this pattern holds:
- E is mapped to 5.
- A is mapped to 1.
- G is mapped to 7.
- E is mapped to 5.
- R is mapped to 9.
Now, let's apply this pattern to the word CADET:
- C is mapped to 3.
- A is mapped to 1.
- D is mapped to 4.
- E is mapped to 5.
- T is mapped to 7.
So, according to this pattern, "CADET" would be coded as "31457."
The correct answer is B. 34157.

Question 20
If DON is coded as 345 and ROAM is coded as 6412 , then how will RANDOM be coded ?
To decipher the code, let's try to understand the pattern:
DON is coded as 345.
ROAM is coded as 6412.
It appears that each letter in the original word is mapped to a number, possibly based on its position in the alphabet. Let's check if this pattern holds:
- D is mapped to 3.
- O is mapped to 4.
- N is mapped to 5.
Now, let's apply this pattern to the word RANDOM:
- R is mapped to 6.
- A is mapped to 1.
- N is mapped to 5.
- D is mapped to 3.
- O is mapped to 4.
- M is not mentioned in the given examples, but it should follow the same pattern.
So, according to this pattern, "RANDOM" would be coded as "615342."
The correct answer is A. 615342.
