J-1, K-2…….so on). And for the codes of Vowels is starts 
from the numeric code of Z i.e. if the code of Z is 2 then the 
code of vowel A is 2 and code of E is 3 and so on till U which 
is coded as 6. 
Note: The code of vowels lies in the range of 1 to 7.  
 
Besides the above information, following operations are to 
be applied for coding the words given in the questions 
below. 
 
If the two immediate digits are same (in the code) then the 
digit of the letter having higher place value in the English 
alphabet will be changed to ‘ ’ i.e. If the code of a word is 
‘225’ hence the code will be changed to ‘ 25’ and if the two 
immediate digits (in the code) are in the form such that the 
preceding digit is one more than its succeeding digit then 
the higher digit will be changed to ‘?’ i.e. If the code of a 
word is ‘435’ hence the code will be changed to ‘ ?35’.  
 
26. If the code for the word ‘SE_ _ED’ is coded as 
‘3?? ?3 ?3’ then what letters will come in the fill in the 
blanks to make it a meaningful word?

only get more attractive in the future. 
(II) Major solar projects that connect to the grid often 
face the challenge of land acquisition and 
transmission connectivity.

separating them from green spaces, and analyses 
the quality of the solar resource.

33. To provide proper education, we need to improve our 
education system. To improve education system, we 
need good teachers. To provide good teachers, we 
again need good education. In India there are some 
good institutes too but most of the students opt for a 
job rather than trying the career in teaching field 
which requires post-graduation as minimum 
eligibility criteria because they do not get a good 
salary there.  
 Course of Action-  
(I)  The Salary of the teachers should be hiked to 
encourage them for opting teaching.  
(II)  The minimum eligibility criterion to be a teacher 
should be graduate rather than post-graduation 
and PhD to become a teacher as students can get 
a job even after graduation.

Direction (26-30): Study the following information and 
answer the given questions: 
 
In alphabetical series each consonant is assigned a 
different number from 1-6 (for ex- B is coded as 1, C-
2……….H-6) and again those numbers get repeated (for ex- 
J-1, K-2…….so on). And for the codes of Vowels is starts 
from the numeric code of Z i.e. if the code of Z is 2 then the 
code of vowel A is 2 and code of E is 3 and so on till U which 
is coded as 6. 
Note: The code of vowels lies in the range of 1 to 7.  
 
Besides the above information, following operations are to 
be applied for coding the words given in the questions 
below. 
 
If the two immediate digits are same (in the code) then the 
digit of the letter having higher place value in the English 
alphabet will be changed to ‘ ’ i.e. If the code of a word is 
‘225’ hence the code will be changed to ‘ 25’ and if the two 
immediate digits (in the code) are in the form such that the 
preceding digit is one more than its succeeding digit then 
the higher digit will be changed to ‘?’ i.e. If the code of a 
word is ‘435’ hence the code will be changed to ‘ ?35’.  
 
26. If the code for the word ‘SE_ _ED’ is coded as 
‘3?? ?3 ?3’ then what letters will come in the fill in the 
blanks to make it a meaningful word?

33. To provide proper education, we need to improve our 
education system. To improve education system, we 
need good teachers. To provide good teachers, we 
again need good education. In India there are some 
good institutes too but most of the students opt for a

(I)  The Salary of the teachers should be hiked to 
encourage them for opting teaching.

should be graduate rather than post-graduation 
and PhD to become a teacher as students can get 
a job even after graduation.
