Coding and Decoding
1. In a certain code language if the word SPLENDOR is coded as UFNJPHQJ, then how is the word DISASTER coded in that language ?
A. FRUBUNGJ
B. HRUDNPJL
C. FRUBNPLH
D. HRDLJNLJ
E. FRDBNPLH
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Word: S P L E N D O R Pattern: +2 *2 +2 *2 +2 *2 +2 *2 Code: U F N J P H Q J Similarly, the code for DISASTER is FRUBUNGJ.
2. In a certain code language, if the word CERTIFY is coded as BURGIVX, then how is the word ADJACENT coded in that language?
A. ZWQZXVMG
B. GMVXZQWZ
C. RMVWYJWH
D. GMXVWRVZ
E. RMKLPRNG
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Word: C E R T I F Y
Pattern: The letters in the word are reversed and then their opposite pairs are given as their codes.
Code : B U R G I V X Similarly, the code for ADJACENT is GMVXZQWZ.
Alpha-Numeric Series
Directions: Read the following alphanumeric series carefully and answer the questions given beside.
O 8 F # 4 @ M 2 E Q % R T & 6 Z * N S $ 7 A
Step 1: If a symbol is immediately preceded and followed by a letter then write it between 6 and Z.
Step 2: If a number is immediately preceded by a symbol and immediately followed by a letter then write it between M and 2.
Note: Step 2 is performed after completion of step 1.
With respect to the sequence after step 2, four of the following five are alike in some way and thus form a group. Which of the following does not belong to the group?
A. ERM
B. ZS6
C. 4M8
D. QT7
E. 6*T
Answer: Option E
Explanation:
From the following explanation it is clear that '6*T' is the odd one out because 'T' is not third to the left of 6 in the sequence after step 2.
Logic: Second element is second to the right of first element; third element is third to the left of first element.
Hence option E is correct.
Sequence after step 1:
O 8 F # 4 @ M 2 E Q R T & 6 % * Z N S $ 7 A
Sequence after step 2:
O 8 F # 4 @ M 7 2 E Q R T & 6 % * Z N S $ A
Directions
Directions: Study the following questions carefully and answer the questions given below.
In a certain coded language,
! means East
? means West
& means North
/ means South
Note: if two symbols are given simultaneously then we will consider both the directions.
For example,
&! means North-East
/! means South-East
A man started from point X and moves towards east. After walking for a distance of 20 m, he took a right turn, and walks for 20 m then he took a left turn, and walk for 15 m after that he took a right turn and walked 15 m more. In which direction is the man facing now?
A. &
B. /
C. !
D. ?
E. None of these
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
By looking at the figure we made with using the information we get from the question it is clear that the man is walking in the South i.e. / direction.
Hence, the correct answer is option B.
Data Sufficiency
Directions: In each of the following questions, a question is followed by two statements numbered I and II. Read both the statements and answer accordingly.
How is I related to V?
Statement I: G is son of H. J is brother of G. U is daughter of I. V is son of D who is married to G
Statement II: E who is married to J, is mother of N. U is sister of J
A. If the data in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question.
B. If the data in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
C. If the data either in statement I alone or statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question.
D. If the data given in both I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
E. If the data in both the statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
From both the statements it is not clear that I is either Grandfather or Grandmother of V.
Coded Inequalities
Directions: In the following questions, the symbols #, %, @, $, & are used with the following meaning as illustrated below.
P#Q means P is not greater than Q.
P%Q means P is not smaller than Q.
P@Q means P is neither smaller than nor equal to Q.
P$Q means P is neither smaller than nor greater than Q.
P&Q means P is neither greater than nor equal to Q.
Now in each of the following questions assuming the given statements to be true, find which of the four conclusions I, II, II and IV given below them is / are definitely true and give your answer accordingly.
Statement:
U@V, V*W, W%Z
Conclusions:
I. Z@U
II. W&U
III. Z#V
A. Only I is true
B. Only II is true
C. Only III is true
D. All are true
E. None of these
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
From the statement, U is greater than V and W. W is either greater than or equal to Z. So Z and W is less than U and V is either greater than or equal to Z because V is equal to W.
