In a certain code, the word DEAL is coded as 4 – 5 – 1 – 12. Following the same rule of coding, what should be the code for the word LADY ?
Correct
Clearly, each letter is coded by the numeral denoting its position in the English alphabet.
Thus, A is coded as 1, B as 2, C as 3, D as 4, …… L as 12, M as 13, …… Y as 25, Z as 26.
So, the code for LADY is 12 – 1 – 4 – 25.

If A = 2, M = 26, Z = 52, then BET = ?
Correct
Clearly, each letter is assigned a numerical value which is twice the numeral denoting its position in the English alphabet.
B, E and T are 2nd, 5th and 20th letters respectively.
So, BET = B + E + T = (2 × 2) + (5 × 2) + (20 × 2) = 54.

If A = 26, SUN = 27, then CAT = ?
Correct
Clearly, each letter is represented by the numeral denoting its position from the end of the English alphabet i.e Z = 1, Y = 2, ….., M = 14, ……, B = 25, A = 26.
Then, SUN = S + U + N = 8 + 6 + 13 = 27.
So, CAT = C + A + T = 24 + 26 + 7 = 57.

If in a certain code, BAT = 23 and CAT = 24, then how will you code BALL ?
Correct
C is one step ahead of B and the code for CAT is more than that for BAT. Thus, the letters are coded by numerals denoting their positions in the English alphabet. i.e. A = 1, B = 2, ….., Z = 26.
So, BALL = B + A + L + L = 2 + 1 + 12 + 12 = 27.

Correct
In the given code, Z = 1, Y = 2, X = 3, ……, C = 24, B = 25, Z = 26.
So, GO = 20 + 12 = 32 AND SHE = 8 + 19 + 22 = 49.
Similarly, SOME = S + O + M + E = 8 + 12 + 14 + 22 = 56.
Incorrect
In the given code, Z = 1, Y = 2, X = 3, ……, C = 24, B = 25, Z = 26.
So, GO = 20 + 12 = 32 AND SHE = 8 + 19 + 22 = 49.

If ZIP = 198 AND ZAP = 246, then how will you code VIP ?
Correct
Taking Z = 2, Y = 3, ……, N = 14, ….., B = 26, A = 27, we have :
ZIP = ( Z + I + P) × 6 = (2 + 19 + 12) × 6 = 33 × 6 = 198.
So, VIP = ( V + I + P) × 6 = ( 6 + 19 + 12) × 6 = 37 × 6 = 222.
Incorrect
Taking Z = 2, Y = 3, ……, N = 14, ….., B = 26, A = 27, we have :
ZIP = ( Z + I + P) × 6 = (2 + 19 + 12) × 6 = 33 × 6 = 198.
So, VIP = ( V + I + P) × 6 = ( 6 + 19 + 12) × 6 = 37 × 6 = 222.

If DEER = 12215 and HIGH = 5645, how will you code HEEL ?
Correct
Clearly, each letter is coded by a numeral which is 3 less than the numeral denoting the position of the letter in the English alphabet. The code for the word is obtained by joining together physically the number codes for the individual letters.
H, E, L are 8th, 5th and 12th letters respectively. So, their codes are 5, 2 and 9 respectively. Thus, the code for HEEL becomes 5229.

If ZEBRA can be written as 2652181, how can COBRA be written ?
Correct
Putting A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, ….. , X = 24, Y = 25, Z = 26, we have :
ZEBRA → Z/E/B/R/A → 26/5/2/18/1 → 2652181.
COBRA → C/O/B/R/A → 3/15/2/18/1 → 3152181.
Incorrect
Putting A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, ….. , X = 24, Y = 25, Z = 26, we have :
ZEBRA → Z/E/B/R/A → 26/5/2/18/1 → 2652181.
COBRA → C/O/B/R/A → 3/15/2/18/1 → 3152181.

If SCOTLAND is written as 12345678, LOAN is written as 1435, LOTS is written as 8124, DAN is written as 537 and SON is written as 458, then what will be the code for ‘C’ ?
Correct
SCOTLAND is written as 12345678 implies that set digits are used as codes for particular letters and there is no rule or pattern to be deciphered. However, DAN and SON have common letter N and common code digit 5 which does not lie at the place corresponding to N in any of the codes. This means that the digit codes are not in the same sequence as the letters in the word, So, we need to find individual codes by analysis. Clearly, LOAN, LOTS, DAN and SON use all the letters of the word SCOTLAND except ‘C’ and their codes contain all the digits from 1 to 8 except ‘6’. So, ‘6’ is the code for ‘C’.
