Q5. In a certain code, NEWYORK is written as 111, how is NEWJERSEY written in that code?

Solution : 

In NEWYORK 
N = 14, E = 5, W = 23, Y = 25, O = 15, R = 18, K = 11 
Total = 14 + 5 + 23 + 25 + 15 + 18 + 11 = 111 
In NEWJERSEY 
Total = 14 + 5 + 23 + 10 + 5 + 18 + 19 + 5 + 25 
= 124 
 

Q6. In a certain code, HARYANA is written as 8197151, how is DELHI written in that code? 

Solution: 

We used the number of alphabets here. 
H = 8 
A = 1 
R = 18 = 1+8 = 9 
Y = 25 = 2+5 = 7 
For DELHI 
D = 4 
E = 5 
L = 12 = 1+2 = 3 
H = 8 
I = 9 
Hence, DELHI is written as 45389.

Although this section might seem tricky at first, it is essential to attempt these questions as they often carry easy marks. In each question, you will be given a word and its coded form, and you are required to decode the logic behind the coding. Once you have figured out the logic, you can then apply it to another given word to find its coded form. With a little bit of practice, anyone can become proficient in this skill!
