a) 5291576

b) 8412525

c) 3611121

d) 2891400

1) Answer (A)

Solution:

G(7) = $7^2$ = 49
U(21) = $(21)^2$ = 441
M(13) = $(13)^2$ = 169
Similarly,
W(23) = $(23)^2$ = 529
A(1) = $(1)^2$ = 1
X(24) = $(24)^2$ = 576
‘WAX’ is coded as ‘5291576’.
$\therefore$ The correct answer is option A.

$\therefore$ The correct answer is option B.

Question 3: In certain code language, ‘FOX’ is coded as ‘108’ and ‘SOUP’ is coded as ‘148’. How will ‘UPSIDE’ be coded as in that language?

a) 528

b) 590

c) 385

d) 494

3) Answer (A)

Solution:

For the ‘FOX’,
[(27 – 6) + (27 – 15) + (27 – 24)] $\times$ number of letter
= (21 + 12 + 3) $\times$ 3
= 36 $\times$ 3 = 108
For the ‘Soup’,
[(27 – 19) + (27 – 15) + (27 – 21) + (27 – 16)] $\times$ number of letter
= (8 + 12 + 6 + 11) $\times$ 4
= 37 $\times$ 4 = 148
Similarly,
For the ‘UPSIDE’,
[(27 – 21) + (27 – 16) + (27 – 19) + (27 – 9) + (27 – 4) + (27 – 5)] $\times$ number of letter
= (6 + 11 + 8 + 18 + 23 + 22) $\times$ 6
= 88 $\times$ 6 = 528
$\therefore$ The correct answer is option A.
