Q.31 Medium Coding-Decoding
If CLOCK is coded as EODMK, what is the code for WATCH?
A YAVDJ
B YBWEJ
C YAWEJ
D XBWDJ
Correct Answer:  C. YAWEJ
EXPLANATION

CLOCK→EODMK: C(+2)=E, L(+3)=O, O(+4)=S (no, D is 4 not S). Let me recalculate: C→E(+2), L→O(+3), O→D (-11 or +13 reversed), C→M(-2 or wraps), K→K(0). Pattern seems: +2, +3, subtract pattern. CLOCK: C(3)→E(5), L(12)→O(15), O(15)→D(4), C(3)→M(13), K(11)→K(11). For WATCH: W(23)→Y(25)(+2), A(1)→A(1) (no). Simpler: W(+2)=Y, A(+2)=C (no, A is 1). Checking option C: YAWEJ means W→Y(+2), A→A(0), T→W(+3), C→E(+2), H→J(+2).

Q.32 Medium Coding-Decoding
If FRIEND is coded as HUMIND, what does STRONG code to?
A UVWPOH
B UVWQOH
C VWXQPI
D UVXQOH
Correct Answer:  B. UVWQOH
EXPLANATION

FRIEND→HUMIND: F→H(+2), R→U(+3), I→M(+4), E→I(+4), N→N(0), D→D(0). For STRONG: S(+2)=U, T(+3)=W, R(+4)=V (no), O(+4)=S (no). Checking pattern differently: Positions shift. F(6)→H(8), R(18)→U(21), I(9)→M(13), E(5)→I(9), N(14)→N(14), D(4)→D(4). Pattern: +2,+3,+4,+4,0,0. STRONG: S(+2)=U, T(+3)=W, R(+4)=V, O(+4)=S... Wait, pattern should be checked as: each letter increases by incremental value.

EXPLANATION

PAINT→QCMOU: P(+1)=Q, A(+2)=C, I(+4)=M, N(+1)=O, T(+1)=U. Pattern: +1,+2,+4,+1,+1. For GRAIN: G(+1)=H, R(+1)=S, A(+2)=C, I(+1)=J, N(+1)=O = HSCJO
