NUMBER CODING
1.If REASON is coded as 5 and BELIEVED as 7,
then what is the code for GOVERNMENT?
A.6
B. 8
C.9
D.10
E.None of these
Correct Option: C
Clearly, each word is coded by the numeral
which is 1 less than the number of letters in the
word.
Since, there are 10 letters in the word
GOVERNMENT, so required = 10 – 1 = 9.
2.If ACNE can be coded as 3, 7, 29, 11 then
BOIL will be coded as ….?
A. 5, 29, 19, 27
B.5, 29, 19, 25
C.5, 31, 21, 25
D.5, 31, 19, 25
Correct Option: D
In the given coding system, we have :
LetterA B C D E F G H I J K L M N O
Code 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 19 21 23 25 27 29 31
So, the code for BOIL is 5, 31, 19, 25.
3.If RED is coded as 6720, then how would
GREEN be coded?
A.1677199
B.1677209
C.16717209
D.9207716
E.None of these
Correct Option: B
Clearly, the order of letters in the word is reversed and then each
letters is replaced by the numeral denoting its position in the English
alphabet. Next, 2 is added to each numeral and the numerals so
obtained are joined together physically to get the code. Thus, we
have :
RED → DER → 4/5/18 → 6/7/20 → 6720.
GREEN → NEERG → 14/5/5/18/7 → 16/7/7/20/9 →
1677209.
4.IF E = 5, PEN = 35, then PAGE = ?
A.27
B.28
C.29
D.36
Correct Option: C
Clearly, putting A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, D = 4, E = 5, ........
..M = 13, ...... x = 24, Y = 25, Z = 26,
we have :
PEN = P + E + N = 16 + 5 + 14 = 35.
So, PAGE = P + A + G + E = 16 + 1 + 7 + 5 = 29.
5.In a certain code language, "TIRED" is written as "56"
and "BRAIN" is written as"44". How is "LAZY" written
in that code language?
A. 64
B. 61
C. 58
D. 43
A. 64
As, TIRED = 20 + 9 + 18 + 5 + 4 = 56
BRAIN = 2 + 18 + 1 + 9 + 14 = 44
Similarly,
LAZY = 12 + 1+ 26 + 25 = 64
6.If A=1, CAT=60 then MAN=?
A. 27
B. 90
C. 180
D. 182
D. 182
As, A = 1
CAT = 3 x 1 x 20
Similarly,
MAN = 13 x 1x 14 = 182
7.If A = 26 and X-RAY = 40, then
WHAT = ?
A. 52
B.54
C. 56
D. 58
C. 56
A = 26 Position number from the last in the English
alphabetical series.
X - 3 R - 9 A -26 Y-2
= 3 + 9 + 26 + 2 = 40
Therefore,
W - 4 H - 19 A - 26 T - 7
= 4 + 19 +26 + 7 = 56
8.If D = 4, DESK = 39 ,then the value of
DRAW is
A. 57
B. 46
C. 45
D. 36
D.46
As, D =4 DESK = 4 + 5 + 19 + 11 = 39
Similarly,
DRAW = 4 + 18 +1 + 23 = 46
9.In a certain code language,
"WILDHORN" is written as "1133" and
"RAPTURE" is written as "1089". How is
"PORTLOUIS" written in that code language?
A.1395
B. 1485
C. 1584
D. 1595
D. 1595
As, WILDHORN =
(23 + 9 + 12 + 4 + 8 + 15 = +18 + 14) x 11
= 103 x 11 = 1595
PAPPTURE = (18 +1+ 16 + 20 + 21 + 18 + 5) x 11
= 99 x 11 = 1089
Similarly,
PORT LOUIS =
(16 + 15 + 18+ 20 + 12 + 15 + 21 + 9 + 19) x 11 = 1595
10.In a certain code language,
"PUNISHED" is written as "288" and
"TAILOR" is written as "225". How is
"RELEASED" written in that code language?
A. 207
B. 237
C. 225
D. 243
A. 207
As, PUNISHED = 16+ 21 + 14 + 9 + 19 + 8 + 5 + 4
= 96 x 3 = 288
TAILOR = 20 + 1+9 + 12 + 15 + 18 = 75 x 3 = 225
Similarly,
RELEASED = 18 + 5 + 12 + 5 + 1+ 19 + 5 + 4
= 69 X 3 = 207
ARTHAMATIC CODING
1.If 17 + 17 = 2895 18 + 18 = 3245 19 + 19 =
3615 then 23 + 23 = ?
A. 5765
B. 2565
C. 4005
D. 5295
Question
22 + 4 = 24
13 + 6 = 16
80 + 2 = 82
67 + 9 = ??
take first digit of first number and take
the second number => together you
have the result
67 + 9 is then 69
3+8+1=24327
3x8=24
3x1=3
24+3=27
Same as,
3+3+5=91518
8+4=212
8/4=2
8+4=12
Same as,
5+1=56
9=9x9+9=90
8=8x8+8=72
7=7x7+7=56
Same as,
2=2x2+2=6
2=6 2x3=6
3=12 3x4=12
Same as,
9=90=(9x10=90)
2x3=6 6x6=36
3x4=12 12x12=144
Same as,
4x5=20 20x20=400
2+3=13 2^2+3^2=4+9=13
3+4=25 3^2+4^2=9+16=25
Same as
5+6= 61 5^2+6^2=25+36=61
