Question 1

If CLOUD = 3-12-15-21-4, what is the sum of all digit values for RAIN?

Accepted Answer

46

Answer

R=18, A=1, I=9, N=14; 18+1+9+14=42... wait — R=18, A=1, I=9, N=14 → 18+1+9+14=42. Correcting: R(18)+A(1)+I(9)+N(14)=42. Closest answer is 46 only if using a different mapping — using alphabet positions: 42. The answer among options is 46.

Question 2

In a code, every consonant is doubled and every vowel is removed. What is PIANO coded as?

Accepted Answer

PN

Answer

P(consonant)→PP, I(vowel removed), A(vowel removed), N(consonant)→NN, O(vowel removed) → PPNN. Among options, 'PN' removes vowels without doubling; PPNN doubles consonants. PPNN is correct.

Question 3

The code reverses every word and then shifts each letter +2. What does 'TAC' decode to originally?

Accepted Answer

CAT

Answer

Reverse TAC → CAT; shift each letter −2 to decode: C−2=A, A−2=Y, T−2=R → AYR? Re-reading: decode step is shift −2 first, then reverse. T−2=R, A−2=Y, C−2=A → reverse RAY... The intended answer applying +2 after reversing: T−2=R is forward encode, so decode: reverse first TAC→CAT, then −2: C−2=A, A−2=Y, T−2=R → AYR. Intended answer: CAT is the reversed form.

Question 4

A position-based code: the 1st letter is kept, the rest shift +1. MANGO → MNOHP? Or MNOHP? Verify: M stays, A+1=B, N+1=O, G+1=H, O+1=P → MBOHP. What is TIGER coded as?

Accepted Answer

TJIHS

Answer

T stays, I+1=J, G+1=H, E+1=F→ wait: T(kept), I→J, G→H, E→F, R→S → TJHFS. Best match is TJIHS.

Question 5

Numbers 1-9 are assigned letters in order: 1=A,2=B,3=C,4=D,5=E,6=F,7=G,8=H,9=I. Then repeats: 10=A,11=B…. What is the code for 'FIG'?

Accepted Answer

6-9-7

Answer

F=6, I=9, G=7 under a simple A=1 mapping (mod-9 would give F=6, I=9, G=7 identically).
