Answers with Explanations
1. (C) Each letter of ‘UVCDKNUG’ stands for each corresponding letter of the
‘STABILISE’ two letters ahead.
2. (A) Each letter of the code stands for each corresponding letter of the original word, thirteen letters ahead.
3. (D) Each letter of the code stands for each corresponding letter of the original word four letters ahead.
4. (A) The second, fourth and sixth letters of the original word are the first, second and third letters respectively in the code while the first, third and fifth letters of the original word are the fourth, fifth and sixth letters respectively in the code.
5. (C) First and second letters of the original word are second and first letters of the code. The same order is repeated for STUDENT.
6. (E) Country contains many states, there are many districts in a state and there are many towns in a district.
7. (A) Codes are as given below—
B = 1, E = 2, I = 5, N = 6 and G = 7.
8. (C)
9. (D) First, third and fifth letters of the code stand for each corresponding letter of the original word two places ahead but second, fourth and sixth letters of the original word stand for each correspond-ing letter of the code two places ahead.
10. (C) By comparing (i) and (ii) Ju means
‘Red.’ By comparing (i) and (iii) Push means ‘is’—
∴ For Orange there is Mit.
Reasoning V. | 15 11. (B) By comparing (i) and (ii) 3 means
‘ARE’. By comparing (i) and (iii) 5 means ‘NEW’
∴ For PENS there is ‘4’.
12. (D)
13. (C) Each letter of the code stands for each corresponding letter of the original word 4 places ahead.
14. (B)
15. (D) On comparing the original word and code we get—
T=X,E=W, A=P, C=B,H=R,R=M, I = S, G = N, L = D and Y = Z
∴ CHARITY = BRPMSXZ.
16. (A) On comparing the original word and code we get—
S=P,C= N, H = I, O = K, L = B, M = Z and E = Y.
∴ COOLHOME = NKKBIKZY.
For Q. 17 to 19.
On comparing the letter of original words and the digits of codes we get—
P =2,O = 3, S = 4, T = 6, E = 7, R = 8, M = 5 and N = 1.
17. (C) 18. (C) 19. (C)
20. (B) Each letter at the odd places in the code stands for each corresponding letter of the original word one place ahead while each letter at the even places in the orig-inal word stands for each corresponding letter of code one place ahead.
21. (A) On comparing (i) and (ii) we get SEK = Green.
On comparing (i) and (iii) we get TIR = Tasty
On comparing (ii) and (iii) we get FAR
= Is
∴ MI = And
and DIK = Tomato
Hence, Tomato is tasty = FAR TIR DIK.
