Answers with Detailed Explanation

Solution (1-5)
1. A
2. C
3. A
4. A
5. C
Solution 1
The pattern followed here is,
In step 1 →
Last two alphabets of every word are placed in front.
Example: see, “ee” will come in front of the word and all will become “ees”.
Step 2 →
Consonants are replaced by the next letter of English alphabetical series.
Vowels are replaced by the number of letters present in that word.
Example: more, m → n, r → s, e→ 4, o→ 4
More- s4n4
Step 3 →
In place of alphabets, number of alphabets present in that word are taken.
In place of odd number → %
In place of even number → &
Example: s4n4
4→ &, n, s→ 2, 4→ &
Step 4: 2&&
Symbols are kept same, but numbers are replaced.
Odd number → %
Even number → &

Step 2 →
The second letter of the changed is changed to numerical position
Example: wht, h numerical position is 8 so “wht” is coded as “w8t” and rest letters will be
kept same
Step 3 →
In place of alphabets, number of alphabets present in that word is taken.
In place of odd number → #
In place of even number → @
Example: w8t
8→ @, w, t→ 2,
W8t→2@
Step 4: 2@
Symbols are kept same, but numbers are replaced.
Odd number → #

Solution 16-20
16. B
17. C
18. A
19. C
20. D
The coding language used to code the given sentences should be decoded in three steps.
Step I: The first element of the code is the difference in the alphabetic positions of first and
the last alphabets of the word.
Step II: The second element of the code is the symbol on the basis of the number of pairs of
same letters in the words.
For 1 pair = #
For 2 pairs = ##
For 3 pairs = ###
Step III: The third element of the code is the middle alphabet/alphabets of the word.
For example,
APPRECIATE is coded as ‘4###EC’
Difference of A and E = 5 – 1= 4
Three pairs (AA, EE, PP) = ###
EC are the middle alphabets.

Solution 21-25
21.A
22.B
23.C
24.D
25.B
From the above statements, we can see that each statement contains words whose first
alphabets are A, P, T and S. Also, each code contains symbols among @, %, &, #. So, we
conclude that the word which starts from A has ‘@’ symbol, P has ‘%’ symbol, T has ‘&’
symbol and S has ‘#’ symbol. Second alphabet of the word from the left is written as first,
then symbol and then the position of last alphabet of the words.

For example, first letter of the word ‘SEARCH’ is S, so we would use # symbol. Second letter
of the word is E. Position of the last letter i.e. H, in the word according to alphabetical series
is 8. So, ‘SEARCH’ is coded as ‘E#8’.

35.B

In each code, then number before the symbol is the value of the 3rd letter (from the left
end) of the word in the alphabetical series.
The symbol in the code is as per the vowel which is 2nd letter from the left end in each
word:
a. For vowel “A”, the symbol used is #
b. For vowel “E”, the symbol used is @
c. For vowel “I”, the symbol used is $
d. For vowel “O”, the symbol used is &
e. For vowel “U”, the symbol used is %
If the number representing the 3rd alphabet in alphabetical series from left end is an even
number, then that even number is added by 3 and the obtained number is the number after
the symbol.
If the number representing the 3rd alphabet in alphabetical series from left end is an odd
number, then the difference of odd number and 3 and the obtained number is the number
after the symbol.
Example:
‘CENTRE’
3rd letter (from the left end) of the word is N, its value in alphabetical series is 14, so 14 is
the number before the symbol.
2nd letter from the left end of the word is E, so the symbol used is @.
As the number representing 3rd alphabet from left end is 14 (an even number), so the
number after the symbol is (14 + 3)=17.
Therefore, the code for ‘CENTRE’ is ‘14@17’.

Solution 41-45

45.E

Logic:
So AABBAA → 001100
So, the equivalent decimal of 001100 is
(0 × ) + (0 × ) + (1 × ) + (1 × ) + (0 × ) + (0 × )
=0+0+4+8+0+0
= 12
And ABABAB → 010101
So, the equivalent of 010101 is
(1 × ) + (0 × ) + (1 × ) + (0 × ) + (1 × ) + (0 × )
= 1 + 0 + 4 + 0 + 16 + 0
= 21.
The sum is 12 + 21 = 33
And the binary equivalent of 33 is
33 = 32 + 1 → 100001.
And by the notations, it is BAAAAB.
Hence, BAAAAB is the correct answer.

BAAAAA → 100000
The decimal equivalent of 100000 is
(0 × ) + (0 × ) + (0 × ) + (0 × ) + (0 × ) + (1 × )
= 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 32
= 32
And BAAA → 1000
The decimal equivalent of 1000 is
(0 × ) + (0 × ) + (0 × ) + (1 × )
=8
=0+0+0+8
=8
So, 32/8 = 4.
And the binary equivalent of 4 is 4 + 0 + 0 → 100 → BAA.
Hence, BAA is the correct answer
Solution 43
Logic:
BBBB → 1111 which is the binary equivalent of

(1 × ) + (1 × ) + (1 × ) + (1 × )=
1 + 2 + 4 +8 = 15.
BBBBB → 11111 which is the binary equivalent of
(1 × ) + (1 × ) + (1 × ) + (1 × ) + (1 × )
1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 = 31
15 + 31 = 46
46/2 = 23
Hence, 23 is the correct answer.

Solution 44
Logic:
BBBB → 1111 which is the binary equivalent of
(1 × ) + (1 × ) + (1 × ) + (1 × )=
1 + 2 + 4 +8 = 15.
20% of 15 is 3 and cube of 3 is 27.
Binary equivalent of 27 will be 16 + 8 + 2 + 1.

So, 11011 → BBABB.

Hence BBABB is the correct answer.

Solution 45
Logic:
BABB → 1011 is the binary equivalent of
(1 × ) + (1 × ) + (0 × ) + (1 × )= 11
1) BBABA → 11010 is the binary equivalent of
(0 × ) + (1 × ) + (0 × ) + (1 × ) + (1 × )=
0 + 2 + 0 + 8 + 16 = 26
26 is not a multiple of 11.
2) BBBAA → 11100 is the binary equivalent of
(0 × ) + (0× ) + (1 × ) + (1 × ) + (1 × )
0 + 0 + 4 + 8 + 16 = 28
26 is not a multiple of 11.
3) BABAB → 10101 is the binary equivalent of
(1 × ) + (0× ) + (1 × ) + (0 × ) + (1 × )
1 + 0 + 4 + 0 + 16 = 21
26 is not a multiple of 11.
4) BBBBA → 11110 is the binary equivalent of
(0 × ) + (1× ) + (1 × ) + (1 × ) + (1 × )
0 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 = 30
26 is not a multiple of 11.
5) BABBA → 10110 is the binary equivalent of
(0 × ) + (1× ) + (1 × ) + (0 × ) + (1 × )
0 + 2 + 4 + 0 + 16 = 22
Hence, 22 is a multiple of 11.
Hence, BABBA is the correct answer.

b. If the number of letters in the word is odd, the 2nd letter from the right of the word is
written.
The digit in the code is the number of consonants in the word.
The symbol in the code is as per the number letters in the word:
a. If number of letters is 3, the symbol used is @.
b. If number of letters is 4, the symbol used is #.
c. If number of letters is 5, the symbol used is $.
d. If number of letters is 6, the symbol used is %.
e. If number of letters is 7, the symbol used is &.
f. If number of letters is 8, the symbol used is *.
The last letter in the code is the immediate succeeding letter (in alphabetical series) of the
last letter of the word.
Example:
‘PREACH’
As the number of letters in the word is 4, so the first letter in its code is 2nd letter of the
word i.e. R
Number of consonants in the word is 4.
Number of letters in the word is 6, so the symbol used is %.
Last letter of the word is H, so the last letter in the code is immediate succeeding letter of H
i.e. I.
Therefore, the code for ‘PREACH’ is ‘R4%I’
