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.
