If REQUEST is written as S2R52TU, how will ACID be written?

a) 1DBE             
b) 1DEB       
c) 1EDB                     
d) 1D3E     
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Manoj Ghosh answered
Here we see, vowels A, E, I, 0, U are coded as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 respectively,
Each of the consonants in the word REQUEST is moved one step forward to give the corresponding letter of the code. 
So, the code for ACID becomes 1D3E.

Direction: Study the following question carefully and choose the right answer.
If RED is coded as 6720, then how would GREEN be coded?
  • a)
    1677199
  • b)
    1677209
  • c)
    16717209
  • d)
    9207716
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

EduRev GATE answered
Clearly, the order of letters in the word is reversed and then each letters is replaced by the numeral denoting its position in the English alphabet. Next, 2 is added to each numeral and the numerals so obtained are joined together physically to get the code. Thus, we have :
RED → DER → 4/5/18 → 6/7/20 → 6720.
GREEN → NEERG → 14/5/5/18/7 → 16/7/7/20/9 → 1677209.
Hence, option B is correct.

In a certain code language, ‘MOST’ is written as ‘134’ and ‘FUR’ is written as ‘90’. How will ‘SUCCESS’ be written in that language?
  • a)
    89
  • b)
    175
  • c)
    178
  • d)
    215
  • e)
    none of these
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Telecom Tuners answered
To determine how 'SUCCESS' is written, let's analyze the coding pattern:

- MOST134
- M = 13
- O = 15
- S = 19
- T = 20
- Sum = 13 + 15 + 19 + 20 = 67
- Adding the digits of 67: 6 + 7 = 13 (1 + 3) = 4

- FUR90
- F = 6
- U = 21
- R = 18
- Sum = 6 + 21 + 18 = 45
- Adding the digits of 45: 4 + 5 = 9

Following the same pattern for SUCCESS:
- S = 19
- U = 21
- C = 3
- C = 3
- E = 5
- S = 19
- S = 19
- Sum = 19 + 21 + 3 + 3 + 5 + 19 + 19 = 89

Hence, ‘SUCCESS’ is written as 178 (1 + 7 + 8). Answer: C: 178

Direction: Study the following question carefully and choose the right answer.
If REASON is coded as 5 and BELIEVED as 7, then what is the code for GOVERNMENT?
  • a)
    6
  • b)
    8
  • c)
    9
  • d)
    10
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

EduRev GATE answered
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 = 10 – 1 = 9.
Hence, option C is correct.

Direction: Study the following question carefully and choose the right answer.
If RAM is coded as 5, GUI is coded as 1, then what is the code for SAP?
  • a)
    3
  • b)
    9
  • c)
    4
  • d)
    7
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

EduRev GATE answered
The numeric value of the letters (considering A to be 1 and Z to be 26) is added and simplified to obtain a single digit.
For RAM, the numeric value of R, A and M is 18, 1 and 13 respectively. Their sum is 32, Now 32 is further simplified to obtain a single digit by adding 3 and 2, which gives us 5 as the final value.
Similarly for GUI, the numeric value of G,U and I is 7, 21 and 9 respectively. Their sum is 37, which is simplified as 3 + 7 = 10 => 1 + 0 = 1.
Similar process will be done to obtain the code for SAP, the numeric value of S, A and P is 19, 1 and 16 respectively. Their sum is 36, which is simplified as 3 + 6 = 9.
So, the code for SAP is 9.
Hence option (B) is correct.

Direction: Study the following question carefully and choose the right answer.
If STAFF is coded as $2#55 and FOLD is coded as 5@3% then how is STOLL written in that code language?
  • a)
    $@332
  • b)
    $2@33
  • c)
    #2@33
  • d)
    $23
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Avantika Kaur answered

Explanation:

Given Codes:
- STAFF is coded as $2#55
- FOLD is coded as 5@3%

Analysis:
- From the given codes, we can see that each letter in the word is replaced with a symbol.
- The position of the symbol is determined by the position of the letter in the English alphabet.

Applying the same logic to STOLL:
- S -> $, T -> 2, O -> 3, L -> 3, L -> 3

Encoded form of STOLL:
- The encoded form of STOLL will be $2@33

Therefore, the correct answer is option B) $2@33.

Direction: Study the following question carefully and choose the right answer.
If ZOO is coded as 2, TAN is coded as 8, then what is the code for WAR?
  • a)
    3
  • b)
    6
  • c)
    4
  • d)
    7
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Convert each letter in the word into its alphabetical position (A=1, B=2, ..., Z=26).
For the word "ZOO":
Z = 26, O = 15, O = 15
Total = 26 + 15 + 15 = 56
Add digits of 56 → 5 + 6 = 11 → 1 + 1 = 2
Hence, ZOO is coded as 2.
For the word "TAN":
T = 20, A = 1, N = 14
Total = 20 + 1 + 14 = 35
Add digits of 35 → 3 + 5 = 8
Hence, TAN is coded as 8.
For the word "WAR":
W = 23, A = 1, R = 18
Total = 23 + 1 + 18 = 42
Add digits of 42 → 4 + 2 = 6
Hence, WAR is coded as 6.
Final Answer: b) 6

Direction: Study the following question carefully and choose the right answer.
IF E = 5, PEN = 35, then PAGE = ?
  • a)
    27
  • b)
    28
  • c)
    29
  • d)
    36
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

EduRev GATE answered
Clearly, putting A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, D = 4, E = 5, ..........M = 13, ...... x = 24, Y = 25, Z = 26, we have :
PEN = P + E + N = 16 + 5 + 14 = 35.
So, PAGE = P + A + G + E = 16 + 1 + 7 + 5 = 29.
Hence, option C is correct.

In a certain code language, ' first of all' is written as 'kan dan san', who is first' is written as 'zan kan ven', and 'this is pale' is written as 'ven gen len'. How will 'who' be written in that language?
  • a)
    zan
  • b)
    gen
  • c)
    kan
  • d)
    ven
  • e)
    none of these
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Gate Funda answered
To determine how 'who' is written in the code language:

1. Identify common words and corresponding codes:
- 'first' = 'kan' (common in both 'first of all' and 'who is first')
- 'is' = 'ven' (common in 'who is first' and 'this is pale')

2. Compare phrases:
- 'first of all' = 'kan dan san'
- 'who is first' = 'zan kan ven'

The remaining code 'zan' must represent 'who'.

Therefore, 'who' is written as 'zan'.Clearly. a 'bag' is used to carry the books but a 'bag' is called 'dictionary'. So, a dictionary will be used to carry the books.
Hence, option A is correct.

Directions: Study the following question carefully and choose the right answer.
If CUSTOM is written as UCTSMO then how PARENT be written in the same code?
  • a)
    APERTN
  • b)
    RAPTNE
  • c)
    TNERAP
  • d)
    ERAPTN
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Snehal Rane answered
Explanation:

Pattern in CUSTOM:
- In the word CUSTOM, each letter is shifted one position to the right.
- C becomes D, U becomes V, S becomes T, etc.
- Therefore, CUSTOM becomes UCTSMO.

Applying the same pattern to PARENT:
- P becomes Q, A becomes B, R becomes S, etc.
- So, PARENT will become APERTN.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A (APERTN).

Directions: Study the following question carefully and choose the right answer.
In a certain code ROAD is written as URDG. How is SWAN written in that code?
  • a)
    UXDQ
  • b)
    VZDQ
  • c)
    VXDQ
  • d)
    VZCQ
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Muskaan Nair answered
Understanding the Code: ROAD to URDG
To decode how "ROAD" is transformed into "URDG", we need to analyze the shifts in each letter.
  • R (18) → U (21): Shift of +3
  • O (15) → R (18): Shift of +3
  • A (1) → D (4): Shift of +3
  • D (4) → G (7): Shift of +3

Each letter in "ROAD" is shifted forward by three positions in the alphabet to get "URDG".
Applying the Same Code to SWAN
Now, let's apply the same principle to the word "SWAN":
  • S (19) → V (22): Shift of +3
  • W (23) → Z (26): Shift of +3
  • A (1) → D (4): Shift of +3
  • N (14) → Q (17): Shift of +3

Thus, "SWAN" becomes "VZDQ".
Conclusion
Therefore, the code for "SWAN" is option 'B' - "VZDQ".
