ACID be written ?
(a) 1394 (b) IC94 (c) BDJE
(d) B3J4 (e) None of these
Sol. (e).
Clearly, vowels A, E, I, O, U are coded as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
respectively. Each of the consonants in the word is
moved one step forward to give the corresponding
letter of the code. So, the code for ACID becomes
1D3E.

14. Slide 14 of 42
3. In a certain code, the word DEAL is coded as 4 −
5 −1 − 12. Following the same rule of coding,
what should be the code for the word LADY ?
(a) 12 − 4 − 1 − 25 (b) 12 − 1 −4 − 25
(c) 10 − 1 − 4 − 23 (d) 12 − 1 −4 − 22
Sol. (b).
Clearly, each letter is coded by the numeral
denoting its position in the English alphabet.
Thus, A is coded as 1, B as 2, C as 3, D as 4, …., L
as 12, M as 13, …., Y as 25, Z as 26.
So, the code for LADY is 12 −1− 4 − 25.
4. If A = 2, M = 26, Z = 52, then BET = ?
(a) 44 (b) 54 (c) 64 (d) 72
Sol. (b).
Clearly, each letter is assigned a numerical value which
is twice the numeral denoting its position in the
English alphabet.
B, E and T and 2nd, and 20th
letters respectively.
So, BET = B + E + T = (2 × 2) + (5 × 2) + (20 × 2) = 54.
5. If A = 26, SUN = 27, then CAT = ?
(a) 24 (b) 27 (c) 57 (d) 58
Sol. (c).
Clearly, each letter is represented by the numeral
denoting its position from the end of the English
alphabet i.e. Z = 1, Y 2, ….., M = 14, …., B = 25, A =
26.
Then, SUN = S + U + N = 8 + 6 + 13 = 27.
So, CAT = C + A + T = 24 + 26 + 7 = 57.
6. If in a certain code, BAT = 23 and CAT = 24, then how
will you code BALL ?
(a) 27 (b) 28 (c) 32 (d) 120
Sol. (a).
C is one step ahead of B and the code for CAT is 1
more than that for BAT. Thus, the letters are coded by
numerals denoting their positions in the English
alphabet.
i.e. A = 1, B = 2, …., Z = 26.
So, BALL = B + A + L + L = 2 + 1 + 12 + 12 = 27.
15. Slide 15 of 42
7. If GO = 32, SHE = 49, then SOME will be equal to -
(a) 56 (b) 58 (c) 62 (d) 64
Sol. (a).
In the given code, Z = 1, Y = 2, X = 3, …., C = 24,
B = 25, Z = 26.
So, GO = 20 + 12 = 32 and SHE = 8 + 19 + 22 = 49.
Similarly, SOME = S + O + M + E
= 8 + 12 + 14 + 22 = 56.
8. If AT = 20, BAT = 40, then CAT will be equal to -
(a) 30 (b) 50 (c) 60 (d) 70
Sol. (c).
Taking A = 1, B = 2, …., T = 20, …., Z = 26, we have :
AT = A × T = 1 × 20 = 20 ;
BAT = B × A × T = 2 × 1 × 20 = 40.
So, CAT = C × A × T = 3 × 1 × 20 = 60.
9. If ZIP = 198 and ZAP = 246, then how will you code
VIP ?
(a) 174 (b) 222 (c) 888 (d) 990
Sol. (b).
Taking Z = 2, Y = 3, …., N = 14, …., B = 26, A = 27,
we have :
ZIP = (Z + I + P) × 6
= (2 + 19 + 12) × 6 = 33 × 6 = 198.
So, VIP = (V + I + P) × 6
= (6 + 19 + 12) × 6 = 37 × 6 = 222.
10. If DEER = 12215 and HIGH = 5645, how will you
code HEEL ?
(a) 2328 (b) 3449 (c) 4337 (d) 5229
Sol. (d).
Clearly, each letter is coded by a numeral which is 3 less
than the numeral denoting the position of the letter in
the English alphabet. The code for the word is obtained
by joining together physically the number codes for the
individual letters.
H, E, L are 8th, 5th and 12th letters respectively. So,
their codes are 5, 2 and 9 respectively. Thus, the code
for HEEL becomes 5229.
16. Slide 16 of 42
11. If E = 5 and HOTEL = 12, how will you code LAMB ?
(a) 7 (b) 10 (c) 26 (d) 28
Sol. (a).
We have : A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, …., Y = 25, Z = 26.
Clearly, the code for a word is obtained by dividing the
sum of the individual values of its letters by the
number of letters in the word.
12. If ZEBRA can be written as 2652181, how can
COBRA be written ?
(a) 302181 (b) 3152181
(c) 31822151 (d) 1182153
Sol. (b).
Putting A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, ….., X = 24, Y = 25,
Z = 26, we have :
ZEBRA → Z/E/B/R/A → 26/5/2/18/1 → 2652181.
COBRA → C/O/B/R/A → 3/15/2/18/1 → 3152181.
H + O + T + E + L
Thus, HOTEL =

(c) 23 − 12 − 26 − 14 − 13 (d) 23 − 15 − 13 − 1 − 14
(e) None of these
Sol. (a).
Clearly, each letter is coded by the numeral obtained
by subtracting from 27, the numeral denoting the
position of the letter in the English alphabet. W, O, M,
A, N and 23rd, 15th, 13th, 1st and 14th letters.
So, their codes are (27 − 23), (27 − 15), (27 − 13),
(27 − 1), (27 − 14) i.e. 4, 12, 14, 26, 13 respectively.
14. If ACNE can be coded as 3, 7, 29, 11, then BOIL will

(c) 5, 31, 21, 25 (d) 5, 31, 19, 25

We have : A = 2m B = 3, …., Z = 27. Then,
FOR = F + O + R = 7 + 16 + 19 = 42.
FRONT = F + R + O +N + T
= 7 + 19 + 16 + 15 + 21 = 78.

number and ends with an odd number, so both the
first and last digits i.e. 8 and 1 shall be coded as Y. 9 is
coded as M, 3 as E, 5 as R, 6 as T. So, the code for
893561 is YMERTY.10. 743506
(a) XDERWT (b) HDERWT (c) XDERJX
(d) YDERJY (e) None of these
Sol. (c).
Since the first digit is an odd number and the last
digit is an even number, so both 7 and 6 shall be
coded as X.
4 is coded as D, 3 as E, 5 as R, 0 as J. So, the code for
743506 is XDERJX.
22. Slide 22 of 42
Directions :
Study the following information carefully to answer these questions :
The digits from 0 to 9 are coded as shown below along with the exceptions I and II :
Digit 3 8 0 7 4 6 9 2 5
Code H $ R A M % L K ξ
11. What will be the code for 764981 ?
(a) A%ML$ξ (b) Y%ML$ξ (c) Y%ML$#
(d) A%ML$# (e) None of these
Sol. (c).
Since the number begins and ends with an odd digit,
so 7 shall be coded as Y and 1 as #. The codes for 6, 4,
9, 8 are %, M, L, $ respectively.
So, the required code is Y%ML$#.
12. What dose MHLEK% represent ?
(a) 439526 (b) 439520(c) 436529

M, H, L, E, K, % are codes for 4, 3, 9, 5, 2, 6
respectively.
So, MHLEK% represents 439526.
Exception I :
If a number begins and ends with a non-zero odd digit, then the first and the last digits are to be coded as Y and #
respectively.
Exception II :
If a number begins and ends with an even digit (including zero), then the first and the last digits are to be coded as β
and X respectively.
23. Slide 23 of 42
13. What will be the code for 278140 ?
(a) βA$ξMR (b) βA$ξMX (c) KA$ξMR
(d) YA$ξM# (e) None of these
Sol. (b).
Since 27 8140 has even digits at the first and last
places, so 2 shall be coded as β and 0 as X. The codes
for 7, 8, 1, 4 are A, $, ξ, M respectively.
So, the required code is βA$ξMX
14. What will be the code for 173548 ?
(a) ξAHEK$ (b) ξAREM$ (c) ξAHEM$
(d) ξAHME$ (e) None of these

1 is coded as ξ, 7 as A, 3 as H, 5 as E, 4 as M, 8 as $.
So, the code for 1735 48 is ξAHEM$.
15. What does R%LAKξ represent ?
(a) 069725 (b) 697210 (c) 069751
(d) 064721 (e) None of these
Sol. (e).
R, %, L, A, K and ξ are codes for 0, 6, 9, 7, 2 and 1
respectively.
So, R%LAKξ represents 069721.

Directions :
In each of the following questions, a word is represented by only one set of numbers as given in any one of the
alternatives. The sets of numbers given in the alternatives are represented by two classes of alphabets as in the two
given matrices. The columns and rows of Matrix I are numbers from 0 to 4 and those of Matrix II from 5 to 9. A
letter from these matrices can be represented first by its row and then the column number e.g., in the matrices for
questions 1 to 4, M can be represented by 14, 21, etc ; O can be represented by 20, 32 etc. Similarly you have to
identify the correct set for the word given in each question.
