Question

1.If GOOD is coded as 164 ,BAD as 21, and UGLY as 260,then JUMP is coded as ?

    a.120    b.240  c.179  d. None

2.In a certain code,253 means "books are old",546 means "man is old" and 378 means "buy good books",what stands for "are" in the code ??

   a.2   b.3   c.4  5.Can't be determined

3.If QUESTION is coded as DOMESTIC what will be the code for RESPONSE ?

  a.OMESUCEM    b.OMESICSM     c.OMESICEM     d.OMESISCM

Answer 1

1st answer should be 240

for JUMP

J occurs at 10th position, U at 21st, M at 31st and P at 16th

so code is (sum of position of all the letters)* no. of letters in given word = 60*4 = 240

Thanks .Please answer the next 2 ques also

Total will be 78 78*4=312

Answer 2

2. Each word is coded with a letter. 253 means "books are old",546 means "man is old".by these two we can say that 5 means old.

253 means "books are old", and 378 means "buy good books", we can say that 3 means books.

253 means "books are old", we know meaning of 5 and 3, so we can "are" is coded as 2.

 3. It is too easy. First see options. OMES***M.This part is common, in every option. Left part to code is ONS from RESPONSE.

In QUESTION, last ON is written as IC, S is written as E.

So, option C is correct answer here.
