Coding with Opposite Letters: -

Q13-15: - If REAP is coded as IVZK then find the code for following words
13. INTERNET
14. LAPTOP
15. MANAGEMENT
13. INTERNET = RMGVIMVG
14. LAPTOP = OZKGLK
15. MANAGEMENT = NZMZTVNVMG

Numerical coding: -

Q16. If ADD=9 then find the code for MULTIPLY

ADD = 1+4+4 = 9

MULTIPLY = 13+21+12+20+9+16+12+25 = 128

Q17. If ADARSH=45 & STOOL=76 then find the code for COLLEGE

ADARSH = 51−6 (letters) = 45

STOOL = 81−5 (letters) = 76

COLLEGE = 59−7 (letters) = 52

Q18. If BORE=10 then find the code for HOTEL

BORE = 40÷4 (letters) = 10

HOTEL = 60÷5 (letters) = 12

Q19. If AUDIO=85 & VIDEO =80 then RADIO=?

AUDIO = 26+6+23+18+12 = 85(sum of opposite letters position)

VIDEO = 5+18+23+22+12 = 80(sum of opposite letters position)

RADIO = 9+26+23+18+12 = 88(sum of opposite letters position)

Q20. If MUNNI= 43559 & SHEELA= 185531 then PINKY=?

MUNNI = 13-21-14-14-9=43559 (digit sum of position)

SHEELA = 19-8-5-5-12-1=185531(digit sum of position)

PINKY = 16-9-14-11-25=79527 (digit sum of position)

Miscellaneous coding: -

Q21. If Fruits are sweet is coded as 547; Lets have Fruits is coded as 352; Fruits have Vitamins
is coded as 625, then Vitamins =?

Fruits are sweet = 547 Lets have Fruits = 352 Fruits have vitamins = 625

Fruits=5 have = 2 Vitamins=6

Q22. If Paper is tough is coded as 138; Solve the paper is coded as 521; Tough paper test is
coded as 816, then Test =?

Paper is tough = 138 Solve the paper = 521 Tough paper tests = 816

Paper=1 tough = 8 Test=6

Q23. If ROOM is called BED, BED is called WINDOW, WINDOW is called FLOWER
and FLOWER is called COOLER, on what would a man sleep?

Man sleeps on BED and the BED is called as WINDOW hence the answer for this question is
WINDOW
