SOLUTION

TYPE- 1

1. In the given code, each letter is moved three steps forward than the corresponding letter in the word. So R is coded
as U, A as D, C as F, E as H. Hence (3) is the answer.

2, Clearly, in the given code, the alphabets are coded as follows.

R O P E C H A I
6 8 2 1 7 3 4 5
So CRAPE is coded as 76421
So the answer is (2)

3. Clearly in the given figures, the numbers are coded as follows.
3 4 5 6 1 4
R O P E A L
So 54613 is coded as POEAR. The answer is (3)

4. In the first and the second statements the common word is juice and the common code word is see. So see means juice. In the second and the third statements, the common word is ‘is’ and the common code is lee. So lee means is. Thus in the second statement, the remaining word sweet is coded as kee.
Hence the answer is (2).

5.  In the first and the second statements, the common code digit is 8 and the common word is good. So 8 stands for good. In the first and the third statements, the common code digit is 1 and the common word is fruit. So 1 stands for fruit. Therefore in the first statement, 5 stands for sweet.
