  1. If 'CLERK' is coded as 'FOHUN', what is the code for 'TABLE'?

    Answer: WDEOH

    Each letter in the original word is shifted forward by three positions in the alphabet to get the coded word (C+3=F, L+3=O, E+3=H, R+3=U, K+3=N). Applying this +3 shift to 'TABLE' gives 'WDEOH'.

  2. Arrange the following names in alphabetical order by last name: 1. Jane Adams, 2. Peter Jones, 3. John Smith, 4. Susan Miller.

    Answer: 1, 2, 4, 3

    Alphabetical ordering is based on the last name. The correct order of last names is Adams, Jones, Miller, Smith, which corresponds to the sequence 1, 2, 4, 3.

  3. You are filing invoices numerically. Which of the following invoice numbers should be filed first?

    Answer: INV-8991

    When filing numerically, items are ordered from the lowest number to the highest. INV-8991 is the smallest number among the choices and should therefore be filed first.

  4. Using the code where A=1, B=2, C=3, etc., what word is represented by the numbers 6-9-12-5?

    Answer: FILE

    This code assigns a number to each letter based on its position in the alphabet (A=1, B=2, ... Z=26). The 6th letter is F, the 9th is I, the 12th is L, and the 5th is E.

  5. You need to send a physical package. Arrange the following steps in the correct logical order: 1. Seal the box, 2. Place items inside the box, 3. Weigh the package and apply postage, 4. Write the address on the box.

    Answer: 2, 1, 4, 3

    The logical sequence of actions is to first put the items in the box (2), then close and seal it (1), then write the destination address (4), and finally, prepare it for mailing by weighing it and adding postage (3).

  6. In a certain code, 1=R, 2=E, 3=P, 4=O, 5=T. How would you write the code for the word 'REPORT'?

    Answer: 12345

    This is a simple substitution code where each number directly corresponds to a specific letter. You just need to replace the letters in 'REPORT' with their assigned numbers.

  7. If 'MANAGE' is coded as 'EGANA M', how would 'CLERICAL' be coded?

    Answer: LACIRELC

    The code is created by reversing the original word ('EGANA M') and then splitting it into two parts. Reversing 'CLERICAL' gives 'LACIRELC'.
