Reasoning (Coding-Decoding) Quiz-1 assesses the ability to decipher patterns and codes, crucial for problem-solving. It includes questions that challenge learners to apply logical reasoning to find coded equivalents of words, enhancing analytical skills relevant in various exams.

2. In a certain code, APPLE is written as BPPLD and CEAT is written as DEAS, then how will be HEART written in that code?

Explanation

The code follows a pattern where each letter in the original word is replaced by the next letter in the alphabet. For example, 'A' becomes 'B', 'P' becomes 'Q', 'L' becomes 'M', and so on. Applying the same pattern to 'HEART', the letters will be replaced as follows: 'H' becomes 'I', 'E' becomes 'F', 'A' becomes 'B', 'R' becomes 'S', and 'T' becomes 'U'. Therefore, the word 'HEART' will be written as 'IEARS' in that code.

3. In a certain code language, SAFER is written as 5@3#2 and RIDE is written as 2©%#, how would FEDS be written in that code?

Explanation

The code pattern in this question involves replacing each letter with a symbol or number. The first letter of the word is replaced with a number, the second letter is replaced with a special character, and the third letter is replaced with another number. Applying this pattern to the word FEDS, we get 3#%5.

Submit
4. In a certain code, DOWN is written as 5@9# and NAME is written as #6%3. How would MODE be written in that code?

Explanation

In the given code, each letter is replaced by a symbol and a number. The symbol and number used for each letter is determined by its position in the alphabet. The first letter is replaced by the symbol '@' and the number '5', the second letter is replaced by the symbol '#' and the number '9', and so on. Applying this pattern to the word MODE, the first letter 'M' would be replaced by the symbol '%' and the number '6', the second letter 'O' would be replaced by the symbol '@' and the number '5', the third letter 'D' would be replaced by the symbol '3' and the number '3', and the fourth letter 'E' would be replaced by the symbol '%' and the number '6'. Therefore, the correct code for MODE is %@53.

Submit
5. If AT=20, BAT=40, then  CAT will be equal to

Explanation

The pattern in this question seems to be that each letter corresponds to a number, where A=10, B=20, C=30, and so on. Therefore, since CAT starts with the letter C, it would correspond to the number 30.

Submit
6. In a certain code language FUEL is written as $%#6 and KITE is written as @•7#. How will LIFE be written in that code language?

Explanation

The given code language follows a pattern where each letter is replaced by a symbol and a number. The symbol corresponds to the position of the letter in the English alphabet and the number corresponds to the number of letters in the word. In FUEL, F is the 6th letter and there are 4 letters in the word, so it is represented as $%#6. Similarly, in KITE, K is the 11th letter and there are 4 letters in the word, so it is represented as @•7#. Applying the same pattern to LIFE, L is the 12th letter and there are 4 letters in the word, so it will be represented as 6•$#.

Submit
7. In a certain code language MODERN is written as 5%38#@ and WIN is written as 6©@. How will "RIDER" be written inthat code language?

Explanation

In the given code language, each letter is replaced by a symbol and a number. The symbol and number correspond to the position of the letter in the English alphabet. For example, M is replaced by 5% because it is the 5th letter in the alphabet, O is replaced by 3 because it is the 15th letter, and D is replaced by 8#@ because it is the 4th letter. Applying the same logic, R is the 18th letter and will be replaced by #, I is the 9th letter and will be replaced by ©, E is the 5th letter and will be replaced by 3, and D is the 4th letter and will be replaced by 8#. Therefore, "RIDER" will be written as #©38#.

Submit
8. If in a certain code language, EAT is written as 318 and CHAIR is written as 24156, then how TEACHER be written in that code language?

Explanation

In the given code language, each letter is assigned a unique number. The number assigned to a letter is determined by its position in the word. For example, in the word "EAT", E is in the first position, A is in the second position, and T is in the third position. Therefore, E is assigned the number 3, A is assigned the number 1, and T is assigned the number 8. Applying the same logic to the word "TEACHER", T is in the first position, E is in the second position, A is in the third position, and so on. Thus, TEACHER would be written as 8312436.

Submit
9. In a certain code, CAT is written as SATC and DEAR is written as QEARD. How would SING be written in that code?

Explanation

The given code follows a pattern where the original word is written in reverse order and then the first letter is moved to the end. Applying this pattern to the word SING, we would get GNIS. However, this option is not provided in the answer choices, so the correct answer would be None of these.

Submit
10. In a certain code RAID is written as %#*$, RIPE is written as %*@©. How is DEAR written up in that code?

20. If GO=32, SHE=49, then SOME will be equal to

Explanation

The given question seems to involve assigning numerical values to letters. If we look at the given examples, GO is equal to 32 and SHE is equal to 49. By comparing the values assigned to each letter, we can see that the value of the first letter in each word is multiplied by the value of the second letter. Applying this pattern to the word SOME, we can calculate the value by multiplying the values of S and O (19 * 15), which equals 285. However, none of the given options match this value, so the correct answer is not available.
