If in a certain code language PREMONITION is written as 68530492904, how will the word MONITOR be written in that code language?

Accepted Answer

Letters of the word PREMONITION are coded as follows: Letters : P R E M O N I T I O N Code: 6 8 5 3 0 4 9 2 9 0 4 See the code below Is and Ns. Codes for I and N are 9 and 4 respectively. This indicates that the digits below each letters represent its code. Therefore, code for the word MONITOR is 3049208

Question 9

Coding-Decoding If Pour is wrtten as 4156 Sware is written as 78269 Clear is written as 3@926 Then what is the code for PEARL= ?

Accepted Answer

Pour - 4156 => P = 4, r = 6 Sware - 78269 => a = 2, e = 9 Clear - 3@926 => l = @ => Pearl = 4926@

Question 10

In a certain code, '289' means 'read from paper'; '276' means 'tea from field' and '85' means 'wall paper'. Which of the following is the code for 'paper' ?

Accepted Answer

Justification: In the first and second statements, the common digit is '2' and the common word is 'from'. So, '2' is the code for 'from'. In the first and third statements, the common code digit is '8' and the common word is 'paper'. So, '8' is the code for 'paper'. As shown above, '8' is the code for 'paper'.

Question 11

In a certain coding language, iF GO = 32 & SHE = 49 then SOME will be equal to ?

Accepted Answer

If we count letters till the end of the alphabet including that letter in reverse order then Here the values are nothing but the values corresponding to the alphabets when taken in a reverse order,i.e,A=26 ,B=25...,Z=1 G = 20 and O = 12 totaling 32 S = 8, H = 19 and E = 22 totaling 49 So SOME = 8 + 12 + 14 + 22 = 56.

Question 12

In a certain code language " given time simple plan " is written as ' @E4 &N4 %N5 #E6 ' " tired solution plant great " is written as ' #N8 @D5 %T5 &T5 ' " sick point good turn " is written as ' #K4 %D4 @N4 &T5 ' " garden sister phone team " is writt…

Accepted Answer

plan is given in first step. Total count of letters is 4 and last letter is N and ‘p’ is coded as & so Final answer will be- &N4 We have to find 'translate' code. As we can see that this word is not given in any steps but as we know the idea of that so we can solve it. Step I: first we will count the letters of that word that is 9, then we put digit 9 at the right end. Step II: we will put the last letter of that word then it will like- E9 Step III: at the last step ‘t’ is coded for ‘@’(first letter of each word is coded by a specific symbol like here ‘t’ is coded for ‘@’. We can find the first coded symbol by looking at the other given words. Answer will be - @E9
