These questions are based on a certain code language. Understand the logic in the coding and
answer the following questions.
PROCESSOR is coded as D4F3C5C1E1S1S1E3C6
a. QUADRANT
- Q1C7A1B2F6A1B7E4
- Q1D6A1B2F3A1B7E4
- Q1C7A1B2F3A1B7E4
- Q1C7A1D2C6A1B7E5
b. WINDOW
- W1E4B7B2E3W1
- W1C3B7B2E3W1
- W1C3B7B2C3W1
- W1C3G7B2E3W1
Exp: PROCESSOR =>
P = 16 and D4 => 4 x 4 = 16 = P
R = 18 and F3 => 6 x 3 = 18 = R
O = 15 and C5 => 3 x 5 = 15 = O and so on.
Hence, PROFESSOR is coded as D4F3C5C1E1S1S1E3C6.
QUADRANT is coded as Q1C7A1B2F3A1B7E4.

If ‘-‘ stands for ‘x’, ’x’ stands for ‘+’, ‘+’stands for ‘÷’ and ‘÷’ stands for ‘-‘,then what is the value of 9÷18x15+3-6x12 ?
(a)24 (b)30 (c)33 (d)42 (e)58
Ans (c)33. The given expression 9÷18x15+3-6x12. By converting the symbols according to the given definitions, we get 9-18+15÷3x6+12 solving this by BODMAS rule,we get the value as 33.

If even numbered dice have even number of dots on their top faces, then what would be the total
number of dots on the top faces of their dice?
a. 12
b. 14
c. 18
d. 24
Option (c). Exp: Even numbered dice are: (II), (IV) and (VI)
No. of dots on the top face of (II) dice = 6
No. of dots on the top face of (IV) dice = 6
and No. of dots on the top face of (VI) dice = 6
Therefore Required total = 6 + 6 + 6 = 18

If 26th March 2006 is Friday, 18th May 2008 is comes on which day?
Days between Step 1 : from 26th March 2006 to 25th March 2007 - 365 days
Step 2 : from 26 th March 2007 to 25 th March 2008 – 366 days 26 th March 2008 to 18 th May 2008 = 31 + 22 = 53 days Total days = 365 + 366 + 53 = 784.
784/7 = 112, it leaves no reminder.
18th May 2008 is also Friday.
