Either numerical code values are assigned to a word or alphabetical code letters are assigned to the numbers in these questions. Clearly, letters and numbers are correlated to each other in no other way except in relation to the position of the letters in the English alphabet. So, either this relation holo.s or the coding has to be done as per a set of given rules. In all other cases, the question is one of direct coding.

1)

If in a certain code, BAT = 23 and CAT = 24, then how will you code BALL?


A) 27

B) 28

C) 32

D) 120

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

C is one step ahead of B and the code for CAT is 1 more than that for BAT. Thus, the letters are coded by numerals denoting their positions in the English alphabet. .i.e. A = 1, B = 2,....Z=26
