2. The element which is 7th to the left of the element which is 11th from the right end is (7+11)=18 th from right is K.
3. The element which is 12th from left if all the numbers are dropped is &.
11.If we compare the two coloumn then G=L>D>F and U<D<L≥ H is true.
12. If we compare the two coloumn then only F=J>C=S is true.
(16-18):
The logic of the coding is as follows:
Letter: Reverse letter of the letter which is 2nd from right of the each word.
Number: (First letter place value + Last letter place value).
Symbol: According to the number of letters in a word. If odd then # and if even then @.
e.g. Fresh
Letter: reverse letter of S is H. Number: (6+8)=14.Symbol: number of letter is Odd so #
So code of Fresh is H # 14.
Mind
Letter: reverse letter of N is M. Number: (13+4)=17.Symbol: number of letter is Even so @
So code of Mind is M @ 17
