Directions (8-10): Read the following information carefully and answer the questions given beside.
In a certain code language, all the consonants of English alphabet series are coded from 1 to 6 such that B is coded
as 1, C as 2 and so on till H is coded as 6, thereafter the codes get repeated i.e. J is coded as 1, K as 2 and so on. The
codes for vowels start with the code of Y. If Y is coded as 1, then A’s code will be 1, E will be coded as 2, I as 3 and
so on. After ascertaining the codes, following conditions are to be followed to determine the final codes.
I. If code for two adjacent letters is same number then change the code of the letter that comes first as per
alphabetical order will be changed to ‘#’. For example; if code for MEAN is 4435 then according to this rule new
code will be 4#35.
II. If the code of two adjacent letters is such that the code of preceding letter is one less than that of succeeding
letter then change the code of succeeding letter as ‘*’. For example if 6349 is a code then according to this rule
new code will be 63*9.

Directions (8-10): Read the following information carefully and answer the questions given beside.
In a certain code language, all the consonants of English alphabet series are coded from 1 to 6 such that B is coded
as 1, C as 2 and so on till H is coded as 6, thereafter the codes get repeated i.e. J is coded as 1, K as 2 and so on. The
codes for vowels start with the code of Y. If Y is coded as 1, then A’s code will be 1, E will be coded as 2, I as 3 and
so on. After ascertaining the codes, following conditions are to be followed to determine the final codes.

I. If code for two adjacent letters is same number then change the code of the letter that comes first as per
alphabetical order will be changed to ‘#’. For example; if code for MEAN is 4435 then according to this rule new
code will be 4#35.
II. If the code of two adjacent letters is such that the code of preceding letter is one less than that of succeeding
letter then change the code of succeeding letter as ‘*’. For example if 6349 is a code then according to this rule
new code will be 63*9.
8. Code of SOUND will be 35*53 . According to condition II

9. Except CRAWL all are in coded. CRAWL will be #2#63

10. No word is match with the code of 3#246.

(16-20):
The code of the words are as follows:
I. First Letter: Reverse letter of last letter of the word.
II. Number: Place value of the first letter of each word
III. Second Letter: 1st letter -1
Example:
Hill.
I. First Letter: Reverse letter of last letter of the word. L-O
II. Number: Place value of the first letter of each word. H=8
III. Second Letter: 1st letter -1. H-1=G.
So code of Hill is O8G.
Mountain:
I. First Letter: Reverse letter of last letter of the word. N-M
II. Number: Place value of the first letter of each word. M=13
III. Second Letter: 1st letter -1. M-1=L.
So code of Hill is M13L.

23. From both the data we get T>R>Q>P>S
