Explanations:

1. We have,

The given combination = 9D8O3J4

In the given combination first element is an odd digit and last element is an even digit.
Here, condition 3 can be applied.

Element 7 2 A D 6 8 O 3 J I V 5 E 4 P 9
Code $ @ < X } / & * > Y % # Z ! ? Q

Now, the code of ‘9D8O3J4’ is ‘QX/&*>!’.

After applying condition 3 the code becomes ‘!>*&/XQ’.

Hence, the correct answer is option A.

2. We have,

The given combination = E6IVP27

In the given combination first element is a vowel and last element is a number.
Here, condition 1 can be applied.

Element 7 2 A D 6 8 O 3 J I V 5 E 4 P 9
Code $ @ < X } / & * > Y % # Z ! ? Q

Now, the code of ‘E6IVP27’ is ‘Z}Y%?@$’.

After applying condition 1 the code becomes ‘$}Y%?@Z’.

Hence, the correct answer is option C.

3. We have,

The given combination = J8E735A

In the given combination first element is a consonant and last element is a vowel.
Here, condition 2 can be applied.

Element 7 2 A D 6 8 O 3 J I V 5 E 4 P 9
Code $ @ < X } / & * > Y % # Z ! ? Q

Now, the code of ‘J8E735A’ is ‘>/Z$*#<’.

After applying condition 1 the code becomes ‘$/Z$*#$’.
Hence, the correct answer is option D.
4. We have,

The given combination = 6PV5IA2

In the given combination first element as well as last element is an even digit and no element is
appearing twice in the code.

Here, no condition can be applied.

Element 7 2 A D 6 8 O 3 J I V 5 E 4 P 9
Code $ @ < X } / & * > Y % # Z ! ? Q

Now, the code of ‘6PV5IA2’ is ‘}?%#Y<@’.

Hence, the correct answer is option B.

5. We have,

The given combination = I8A6P89

In the given combination first element is a vowel and last element is a number as well as 8 is appearing
twice.

Here, both condition 1 and 4 can be applied.

Element 7 2 A D 6 8 O 3 J I V 5 E 4 P 9
Code $ @ < X } / & * > Y % # Z ! ? Q

Now, the code of ‘I8A6P89’ is ‘Y/<}?/Q’.

After applying condition 1 the code becomes ‘Q/<}?/Y’.

And, after applying condition 4 the code becomes ‘QL<}?LY’.

Hence, the correct answer is option D.

Common Explanations : (SET – 2)
Reference:
Ram says, "le po ki ba" when he wants to convey that "friends make life live".

Laxman says, "te ki mo ba" when he wants to convey that "without friends life impossible".

Shatrughan says, "st ba po lo" when he wants to convey that "life make trouble joy".

Inference:
From the above hints, the codes for friends life can be obtained as ki ba (irrespective of order)

With the help of last hint, code for 'life' can be obtained as 'ba'.

So, 'friends' will be coded as 'ki'.

Code for 'make' is 'po'.

Thus the only left word 'live' is coded as 'le'.

Reference:
Bharat says, "lo mo se te" when he wants to convey that "without trouble gain impossible".

Shatrughan says, "st ba po lo" when he wants to convey that "life make trouble joy".

Laxman says, "te ki mo ba" when he wants to convey that "without friends life impossible".

Inference:
From the above hints code for 'trouble' is 'lo.'

The code for without impossible is 'mo te'(irrespective of order).

Thus the code for gain is 'se'.

Reference:
Shatrughan says, "st ba po lo" when he wants to convey that "life make trouble joy".

Laxman says, "te ki mo ba" when he wants to convey that "without friends life impossible".

Inference:
As we have already identified the codes for 'life', 'make' and 'trouble' as 'ba', 'po' and 'lo' respectively.

So, the only left code 'st' represents "joy".

6. From the following explanation the code for 'life gives joy' is most probably coded as "ba fo st". Though
the code of 'gives' is not given but checking the other options we can observe that 'gives' can be coded
as 'fo'.
Hence option B is correct.

Word Code
life ba
friends ki
make po
live le
trouble lo
gain se
joy st
without mo/te
impossible te/mo

7. From the following explanation the code for 'mission impossible' could be either "mo fi" or "te fi".
Hence option D is correct.

Word Code
life ba
friends ki
make po
live le
trouble lo
gain se
joy st
without mo/te
impossible te/mo

8. From the following explanation the code for 'live gain' is 'le se'.

Hence option A is correct.

Word Code
life ba
friends ki
make po
live le
trouble lo
gain se
joy st
without mo/te
impossible te/mo
9. From the following explanation the code for 'life impossible without' is coded as ba mo te,

Hence option B is correct.

Word Code
life ba
friends ki
make po
live le
trouble lo
gain se
joy st
without mo/te
impossible te/mo

10. Following the final explanation we can observe that the code for the word 'without' could be either 'te'
or 'mo' therefore either option A or D is correct.

Option E is hence the correct answer.

Word Code
life ba
friends ki
make po
live le
trouble lo
gain se
joy st
without mo/te
impossible te/mo

Common Explanation: (SET – 4)

In the code given for each word,

The number in the code of each word can be obtained using a following pattern:

If number of letters in a word is an odd number then number represents the number position of the middle
letter of its corresponding word in alphabetic series.
If number of letters in a word is an even number then number represents sum of the numeric position of the
middle letters of its corresponding word in alphabetic series.

For example, the number of letters in the word ‘Bank’ is ‘4’ which is even. Now, the middle letters of the word
‘Bank’ are ‘A’ and ‘N’, and the numeric position of ‘A’ and ‘N’ in the alphabetic series is 1 and 14. So, the
number is 1 + 14 = 15.

Similarly, the number of letters in the word ‘Account’ is ‘7’ which is odd. Now, the middle letters of the word
‘Account’ is ‘O’, and the numeric position of ‘O’ in the alphabetic series is 15. So, the number is 15.
The symbol in the code of each word is representing the number of vowels in its corresponding word.

Number of Vowels Symbols

1 @
2 #
3 $
4 %
5 &

For example, the number of vowels in the word ‘Bank’ is ‘1 (A)’. Hence, the symbol is ‘@’.

Similarly, the number of vowels in the word ‘Account’ is ‘3 (A, O and U)’. So, the symbol is $.

The letter in the code of each word is representing next letter of second letter of its respective word in the
alphabetic series.

For example, the second letter of the word ‘Bank’ is ‘A’ and we know that next letter of ‘A’ in alphabetic series
is ‘B’. Hence, the letter is ‘B’.

Similarly, the second letter of the word ‘Account’ is ‘C’ and we know that next letter of ‘C’ in alphabetic series
is ‘D’. Hence, the letter is ‘D’.

Thus, the code of ‘Bank’ is ‘15@b’ and the code of ‘Never’ is ‘15$d’.

16. Following the common explanation, we can say that the code for ‘Dodge Little Expenses’ is ‘4#p 40#j
19$y’.

Common Explanation: (SET – 6)
In the code given for each word,

Each of the symbols in the code represents the number of letters in its corresponding word. Such that:

‘%’ for the word in which the number of letters are odd.
‘$’ for the word in which the number of letters are even.

For example, number of letters in ‘Earth’ are 5 which is an odd number. Hence, the symbol is ‘%’.

Similarly, number of letters in ‘Laughs’ are 6 which is an even number. Hence, the symbol is ‘$’.

The second letter in the code denotes the reversed letter of the second letter from right end of its
corresponding word.

For example, second letter from right end in ‘Earth’ is ‘T’ and the reversed letter of ‘T’ is ‘G’. Hence, the letter
is ‘G’.

Similarly, second letter from right end in ‘Laughs’ is ‘H’ and the reversed letter of ‘H’ is ‘S’. Hence, the letter is ‘S’.

The digit of each code denotes the numeric position of third letter from left end in alphabetic series of its
corresponding word.

For example, third letter from left end in ‘Earth’ is ‘R’ and the numeric position of ‘R’ is ‘18’. Hence, the
number is ‘18’.

Similarly, third letter from left end in ‘Laughs’ is ‘U’ and the numeric position of ‘U’ is ‘21’. Hence, the number
is ‘21’.

Thus, the code of Earth is ‘%G18’ and the code of Laughs is ‘$S21’.

26. Following the common explanation, we can say that the code ‘jr’ stands for either ‘Your’ or ‘Was’ in the
given code language.

Hence, the correct answer is option E.

Common Explanation: (SET – 8)

In the code given for each word,

Each letter of the code can be obtained changing the first letter of its corresponding word to the next letter
according to alphabetical series.

For example, first letter of the word ‘Become’ is ‘B’ and the next letter of ‘B’ in alphabetical series is ‘C’. Hence,
the letter is ‘C’.

Similarly, first letter of the word ‘Insane’ is ‘I’ and the next letter of ‘I’ in alphabetical series is ‘J’. Hence, the
letter is ‘J’.

Now, each number of the code denotes the number of letters of its corresponding word.

For example, the number of letters in the word ‘Become’ is ‘6’. Hence, the number is ‘6’.
Similarly, the number of letters in the word ‘Insane’ is ‘6’. Hence, the number is ‘6’.
Therefore, the code of the ‘Become’ is ‘C6’ and ‘Insane’ is ‘J6’.

Let us each of the options one by one starting with option A.

Option A – 381 + 2 + 2 - In this code '+' is used only when none of the given conditions are applicable
and this shows that there must be two vowels in the word. The second blank filled with a vowel i.e. any
of (a, e, i, o, u) and the first blank has the letter whose code is 1, Q and C are such two letters whose
codes are 1.

After filling the blank with possible letters , we get no meaningful word, thus option A is wrong.
FLQOD_D or FLCOD_D

Option B - 38##2#2 - Use of symbol '#' signifies that condition III is applicable here, that means the
codes of consonants are 1 more than their original codes, but we can see that the consonants are
coded with their original codes only here. Thus option B is also eliminated.

Option C- 38^$2@2 - Use of three different symbols signifies that there must be three vowels and
condition II is applicable. Let us check the possibilities of the vowels in both the blanks.
FLAODAD , FLEODED , FLOODOD , FLIODID, FLUODUD , FLAODED, FLOODED, FLOODAD

Out of these only FLOODED is the meaningful English word.
