2. Number/Symbol coding N × 2 = 28 ; O× 2 = 30 ; R× 2 = 36 ;
3. Words coding M × 2 = 26 ; S ×2= 38 ;
4. Condition coding So, NORMS → 2830362638

Q+1=R; U + 1 = V ; E + 1 = F; ‘KNEE’ , then in that language, on what

S + 1 = T; T+1=U; I +1=J; would one wear a ring?
O + 1 = P and N + 1 = O . Solution : We wear the ring in "FINGER".
Write it in reverse order. (OPJUTFVR) And the code for FINGER → KNEE.
In the same way FACTOR is written as So , KNEE is the right answer.
F+1=G; A+1=B; C + 1 = D;
T+1=U; O+1=P; R + 1 = S. TYPE - IV
