Question 641. In a certain code, 'DOWN' is written as '5@9#' and 'NAME' is written as '#6%3'. How would 'MODE' be written in that code?
  1.    %653
  2.    %@63
  3.    %5@3
  4.    %@53
  5.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> %@53
Answer: (d)
As, D → 5 O → @ W → 9 N → # and N → # A → 6 M → % E → 3
Similarly, M → % O → @ D → 5 E → 3
Therefore, MODE ⇒ % @ 53
Question 642. If in a certain code language 'FIRE' is written as '# % @ &' and 'DEAL' is written as '© & * ↑', then how will 'FAIL' be written is that language?
  1.    # * © ↑
  2.    # * @ &
  3.    # * % ↑
  4.    # $ % ↑
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> # * % ↑
Answer: (c)
As, F → # I → % R → @ E → & and D → © E → & A → * L → ↑
Similarly, F → # A → * I → % L → ↑
Therefore, FAIL ⇒ # * % ↑
Question 643. If in a certain code language 'GONE' is written as '5 @ © 9' and 'SEAL' is written as '6 9 % *', then how will 'LOGS' be written in that language?
  1.    * © 5 6
  2.    * 9 © 6
  3.    * @ 6 5
  4.    * @ 5 6
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> * @ 5 6
Answer: (d)
As, G → 5 O → @ N → ©  E → 9 and S → 6 E → 9 A → % L → *
Similarly, L → * O → @ G → 5 S → 6 LOGS ⇒ * @ 56
Question 644. If ACNE can be coded as 3, 7, 29, 11, then BOIL will be coded as
  1.    5, 29, 19, 27
  2.    5, 29, 19, 25
  3.    5, 31, 21, 25
  4.    5, 31, 19, 25
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 5, 31, 19, 25
Answer: (d)
Question 645. If in a certain language 'HEART' is written as '@8531', 'FEAST' is written as '#8541', then how will 'FARTHEST' be written in that language?
  1.    @ 8 5 4 3 # 1 8
  2.    # 5 3 1 4 @ 8 1
  3.    # 5 3 1 @ 8 4 1
  4.    4 5 3 1 @ 8 4 5
  5.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> # 5 3 1 @ 8 4 1
Answer: (c)
As, H → @ E → 8 A → 5 R → 3 T → 1 and F → # E → 8 A → 5 S → 4 T → 1
Similarly, F → # A → 5 R → 3 T → 1 H → @ E → 8 S → 4 T → 1
Therefore, FARTHEST ⇒ #531@841
Question 646. If MOBILITY is coded as 46293927, then EXAMINATION is coded as
  1.    45038401854
  2.    56149512965
  3.    57159413955
  4.    67250623076
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 56149512965
Answer: (b)
Let A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, ……, X = 24, Y = 25, Z = 26.
Then, M = 13 = 1 + 3 = 4; O = 15 = 1 + 5 = 6; B = 2; I = 9;
L = 12 = 1 + 2 = 3; T = 20 = 2 + 0 = 2; Y = 25 = 2 + 5 = 7.
So, MOBILITY = 46293927.
Similarly, X = 24 = 2 + 4 = 6; N = 14 = 1 + 4 = 5.
So, EXAMINATION = 56149512965.
Question 647. If REASON is coded as 5 and BELIEVED as 7, then what is the code for GOVERNMENT?
  1.    6
  2.    8
  3.    9
  4.    10
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 9
Answer: (c)
Clearly, each word is coded by the numeral which is 1 less than the number of letters in the word. Since there are 10 letters in the word GOVERNMENT,
so required code = 10 - 1 = 9.
Question 648. If REQUEST is written as S2R52TU, then how will ACID be written?
  1.    1394
  2.    IC94
  3.    BDJE
  4.    B3J4
  5.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option E. -> None of these
Answer: (e)
Clearly, vowels A, E, I, O, U are coded as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 respectively.
Each of the consonants in the word is moved one step forward to give the corresponding letter of the code.
So, the code for ACID becomes ID3E.
Question 649. Which of the following numbers can the code YM$ME# represent?
(A) 138450 (B) 338457 (C) 538459
  1.    Only (A) and (C)
  2.    Only (B)
  3.    Only (C)
  4.    Only (B) and (C)
  5.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Only (B) and (C)
Answer: (d)
H, $, M, and E are codes for 3, 8, 4, and 5 respectively.
Y at the first place and # at the last place indicate that the number should begin and end with an odd digit.
Clearly, only (B) and (C) satisfy this condition.
Question 650. If ZEBRA can be written as 2652181, how can COBRA be written?
  1.    302181
  2.    3152181
  3.    31822151
  4.    1182153
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 3152181
Answer: (b)
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.
