Question for Practice Questions Level 2: Coding & Decoding
Try yourself:How will 'Incredible' be coded as according to this code language?
Explanation
Each given code comprises three different elements – a number, a symbol and a letter; where-
(1) The number is the reverse numeric value for the first letter of the word.
(2) For the second element, a unique symbol is chosen for the last letter of the word. To exemplify, the word 'All' has L as its last letter; and therefore, for L, ! is its second element in the code.
(3) The last element comprises the letter which is third to the right(in English Alphabet) of the last letter of the word. For example, in the word 'All', L is the last letter; so third to the right of L is O.
As per this logic, the words and their specific codes are as given below:

Following the logic, the code for 'Incredible' will be 18#H.

Question for Practice Questions Level 2: Coding & Decoding
Try yourself:Find the resultant of the second row, if N is the resultant of the first row.

Explanation
12 × 09 = 108 (As per step 2)
125 − 108 = 17 (As per step 3)
N = 17
17 + 21 = 38 (As per step 5)
38 × 15 = 570 (As per step 2)

Question for Practice Questions Level 2: Coding & Decoding
Try yourself:Find the resultant of the first row if N is the resultant of the second row.

Explanation
109 − 56 = 53 (As per step 1)
53 + 39 = 92 (As per step 5)
N = 92
216 - 92 = 124 (As per step 3)
124 × 09 = 1116 (As per step 2)

Question for Practice Questions Level 2: Coding & Decoding
Try yourself:
Row I: 9, 11, 34
Row II: 16, 9, 8
What is the difference between the resultant numbers in the first row and the second row?
Explanation
-
If an even number is followed by an even number, then the first number will be subtracted from the second.
Row I: 9, 11, 34
Row II: 16, 9, 8
Result: No condition Matches.
-
If an odd number is followed by an odd number, then both will be added.
Row I: 9, 11, 34
Row II: 16, 9, 8
Resulting number of first row = 11 + 9 = 20
Result: Thus, the resulting number will be 20.
-
If an odd number is followed by an even number, then the even number will be subtracted from the square of the odd number.
Row I: 9, 11, 34
Row II: 16, 9, 8
Resulting number of first row = 11² - 34 = 121 - 34 = 87
Resulting number of second row = 9² - 8 = 81 - 8 = 73
-
If an even number is followed by an odd number, then the odd number will be subtracted from the even number.
Row I: 9, 11, 34
Row II: 16, 9, 8
Resulting number of second row = 16 - 9 = 7
Result: Thus, the resulting number will be 7.
The difference between the resultant numbers in the first row and the second row is:
Total sum of the first row of resultant number is = 20 + 87 = 107
Total sum of the second row of resultant number is = 73 + 7 = 80
Difference of first row and second row of the resultant number is = 107 - 80 = 27
Hence, "27" is the correct answer.

Question for Practice Questions Level 2: Coding & Decoding
Try yourself:Using the given rules, find the code for 'student perfect'.
Explanation
If the number of letters in a word is odd, then symbol is @.
If the number of letters in a word is even, then symbol is #.
E.g. Number of letters in word 'play' is 4, so the symbol will be #.
The letter in the code is opposite to the last letter of the word in the alphabet in terms of position.
E.g. Last letter in the word 'play' is y. So, the letter in code will be b, as it is opposite to y.
The number in the code is the position of the letter opposite to the second-last letter of the word.
E.g. 'a' is the second-last letter in the word 'play'.
Opposite to a is z, and the position of z in alphabet is 26. So, the number will be 26.
Hence, the code for 'play' will be 26#b.
Now, code for 'student' will be 13@g.
Similarly, code for 'perfect' will be 24@g.

Try yourself:What will be the code for 'am' in this code language?
Explanation
If the number of letters in a word is odd, then symbol is @.
If the number of letters in a word is even, then symbol is #.
E.g. Number of letters in word 'play' is 4, so the symbol will be #.
The letter in the code is opposite to the last letter of the word in the alphabet in terms of position.
E.g. Last letter in the word 'play' is y. So, the letter in code will be b, as it is opposite to y.
The number in the code is the position of the letter opposite to the second-last letter of the word.
E.g. 'a' is the second-last letter in the word 'play'.
Opposite to a is z, and the position of z in alphabet is 26. So, the number will be 26.
Hence, the code for 'play' will be 26#b.
Following the same rules, code for 'am' will be 26#n.
