Directions: Study the following coding pattern and conditions carefully. Answer the questions based on the information given below.
Element: 7, $, 6, @, 4, 8, <, 1, %, ÷, 9, 2, &, 3, #, ×, 5
Code: J, B, V, Q, A, T, N, D, W, L, P, U, Y, C, R, F, K
Condition 1: If the first element is a number and the last element is a symbol, then the codes of the first and last elements will be interchanged.
Condition 2: If the first element is a symbol and the last element is a number, then both elements will be coded as the code corresponding to the symbol.
Condition 3: If the third element is an even number and the sixth element is a symbol, then both will be coded as 'E'.
Condition 4: If an element appears more than once in the group, then the code corresponding to that element will not be written.
Note: If more than one condition is applicable, then the conditions are to be applied in the increasing order of their condition numbers.
Solution & Explanation Base code = KFVBANAQ. Condition 1 gives QFVBANAK. Condition 3 changes the third and sixth positions to E, giving QFEBAEAK. Condition 4 removes both occurrences of A (element 4 appears twice). Final code = QFEBEK.
Passage
Directions: Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below.
In a certain code language:
'Earth Laughs With Flowers' is written as '$G20 %G18 %I15 $S21'
'Become What You Believe' is written as '%E12 %L21 $Z1 $N3'
'Reach Your Own Stars' is written as '$F21 %I1 %D14 %X1'
Solution & Explanation Imagination has 11 letters (odd → %). The second letter from the right is O, whose reverse-position letter is L. The third letter from the left is A, whose alphabetical position is 1. Therefore, the code is %L1.
Passage
Directions: In each of the following questions given below, a group of letters is given followed by four combinations of symbols/digits/letters labelled A, B, C and D. You have to find out which of the following combinations correctly represents the group of letters based on the codes and the conditions given below. If none of the combinations matches, choose 'None of these' as your answer.
A → @
E → #
I → %
O → $
U → &
And the rest of the letters will be coded as the sum of the digits of their numerical position in the English alphabetical series.
Condition 1:
If the number of even digits in the code is more than the number of odd digits, then each odd number in the code will be converted into its respective letter whose numerical position in the alphabetical series is the same as the number.
Condition 2:
If all the numbers in the code are odd digits, then each number in the code will be converted into its respective letter whose numerical position in the alphabetical series is the same as the number and the obtained codes at first and last positions will be interchanged.
Condition 3:
If there are more than two symbols in the code, then the consonants are to be changed to their immediate next letter in the English alphabetical series.
Note: If more than one condition is applicable in a code, then only Condition 3 will be applied.
Solution & Explanation TREASURE → 29#@1&9#. Since there are more than two symbols (#,@,&,#), only Condition 3 applies. T→U, R→S, S→T and R→S. Final code = US#@T&S#.
Passage-based question
Solution & Explanation COURAGE → 3$&9@7#. There are more than two symbols ($,&,@,#), so Condition 3 applies. C→D, R→S and G→H. Final code = D$&S@H#.
Passage
Directions: Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below.
In a certain code language:
'Earth Laughs With Flowers' is written as '$G20 %G18 %I15 $S21'
'Become What You Believe' is written as '%E12 %L21 $Z1 $N3'
'Reach Your Own Stars' is written as '$F21 %I1 %D14 %X1'
Solution & Explanation Dreams has 6 letters (even → $), the second letter from the right is M whose reverse-position letter is N, and the third letter from the left is E whose alphabetical position is 5, giving $N5. Humanity has 8 letters (even → $), the second letter from the right is T whose reverse-position letter is G, and the third letter from the left is M whose alphabetical position is 13, giving $G13. Hence, the code is $N5 $G13.
