1.If each of the letters of the English alphabet is 3.

In a certain code language, ‘dee due tic’ is


assigned an odd numerical value beginning written as ‘roses are red’, ‘bil doe’ is written as
with A = 1, B=3 and so on, what will be the total ‘yellow carnations’ and ‘tic dur doe’ is written
value of the letters of the word RADICAL? as ‘carnations are pink’. What is the code for
A. 88 B. 99 ‘pink’ is that language?
C. 89 D. 90 A. doe B. tic
Sol: C. dur D. dee
The pattern is: Sol:
R = 35 ‘dee due tic’ = ‘roses are red’_________(1)
A=1 ‘bil doe’ = ‘yellow carnations’ ___________(2)
D=7 ‘tic dur doe’ = ‘carnations are pink’_________(3)
I = 17 'are' and 'tic' are common in (1) and (3), so 'are'
C=5 = 'tic'
A=1 'carnations' and 'doe' are common in (2) and (3),
L = 23 So, 'carnations' = 'doe'
R+A+D+I+C+A+L from (3), 'pink' = 'dur'
35 + 1 + 7 + 17 + 5 + 1 + 23 = 89 Hence, the correct option is C.
Hence, option C is the correct answer.
4.If each English alphabet is assigned even
2.In a code language, VIBRANT is written numerical value like A = 2, B = 4 and so on, what
as CJWSUOB. Then, how ELASTIC will be coded will be the code of EARTH?
as? A. 122384216 B. 102364016
A. BMFTDJU B. BMFLPJU C. 102364018 D. 102384218
C. OKFTDJU D. BMFTHYT Sol:
Sol: Its given that A = 2, B = 4 and so on.
So, E=10,A=2,R=36,T=40,H=16
So EARTH=102364016
Hence, the correct answer is option B.

C. 24 – 26 – 18 – 20 – 12
D. 23 – 01 – 9 – 20 – 12
Sol:
Take reverse rank of alphabetical letters.
As, (T)7-(A)26-(N)13-(K)16=7-26-13-16 Hence, option(D) is the correct response.
Similarly,
(C)24 – (A)26 – (R)9 – (G)20 – (O)12= 24 – 26 – 9
– 20 – 12
Hence, the correct answer is option B.

Similarly,
O(1+5),O(1+5),D(4)
I (-1) = H
⇒263375664 and
Q (-1) = P
H(8),O(15), L(12),Y(25),W(23),O(15),O(15),D(4)
B (-1) = A
⇒ H(8),O(1+5), L(1+2),Y(2+5),W(2+3),O(1+5),
O (-1) = N
O(1+5),D(4)
S (-1) = R
⇒ 86375664
Thus, R is the last letter.
