20. A word is represented by only set of numbers as given in any of the alternatives. The sets of numbers given in the alternatives are represented by two classes of alphabets as in the 2 matrices given below. The columns and rows of matrix I are numbered from 0 to 4 and that of matrix II from 5 to 9. A letter from these matrices can be column number. E.g. ‘F’ and be represented by 14, 21, etc. ‘T’ can be represented by 59, 78 etc. Similarly identify the set for the word"POSE".

MATRIX (I)

MATRIX (II)

   

(a) 87, 55, 89, 43

(b) 68, 98, 58, 21

(c) 75, 86, 67, 14

(d) 56, 67, 77, 01

Answers:

1: (b)

21 and 19 represents the number of letters that come after F and H in alphabetical sequence.

2: (a)

In the group MNOP, the letters are shifted +1, +2, +3, +4 places in alphabetical sequence to get NPRT. Similarly, EFGH can be converted to FHJL

3: (c)

4 and 8 are 2² and 2³ respectively. So, 1² and 1³ are the next numbers in the group.

4: (a)

10/2 + 2 = 7

Therefore, 14/2 + 2 = 9

5: (b)

The sum of alphabetical positions of L, I, M and E is 12+9+13+5=39. So, 39+1=40/2=20.

The sum of alphabetical positions of L, E, M, O and N is 12+5+13+15+14=59. So, 59+1=60/2=30.

6: (a)

The pattern here will be ‘abbaccabbacc’

7: (a)

The pattern here will be ‘aababb’.

8: (c)

In FUTURE, first two letters are reversed, last two letters are reversed and middle two letters are unchanged. So, NATURE will be coded as ANTUER. 

9: (a)

In TEA, the alphabetical positions of T, E and A are 20, 5 and 1. The positions numbers are multiplied to get the code as 100. Similarly, FAT can be coded as 120.

10: (d)

2 A 8 D 5 C 9 B 3 = 2 × 8 - 5 + 9 ÷ 3 = 16 – 5 + 3  = 14

11: (b)

12: (c)

13: (c)

Out of 60 students, if number of boys is double of number of girls, then there are 40 boys and 20 girls in the class. Since Kapil’s rank is 10^th and there are 3 girls ahead of him, then remaining 17 girls are below him in rank. Similarly, out of his 10^th rank, 3 are girls who are ahead of him, then there are 7 boys (including Kapil) till 10^th rank. Therefore, there are 33 boys below him in rank.

14: (d)

Out of 60 students, if number of boys is double of number of girls, then there are 40 boys and 20 girls in the class. Since Kapil’s rank is 10^th and there are 3 girls ahead of him, then remaining 17 girls are below him in rank.
