TRIANGLE is coded as USJBOHF. What is the coding pattern?
T→U, R→S, I→J, A→B, N→O, G→H, L→M, E→F. Each letter shifts forward by 1 position.
If SCHOOL is coded as TDSQQM, how is COLLEGE coded?
Each letter shifts forward by 1. C→D, O→P, L→M, L→M, E→F, G→H, E→F.
In a certain code, PENCIL is written as QFODJM. Using the same pattern, what is ERASER?
Each letter shifts forward by 1: P→Q, E→F, N→O, C→D, I→J, L→M. Similarly: E→F, R→S, A→B, S→T, E→F, R→S gives FSBTSF (recalc gives FSBTSF but option shows FSBTZS - verify against pattern).
If APPLE is coded as 1-16-16-12-5, what is the coding system?
A=1, P=16, P=16, L=12, E=5 are their positions in the alphabet.
In a code, FESTIVAL is represented as 6-5-19-20-9-22-1-12. What system is used?
F=6, E=5, S=19, T=20, I=9, V=22, A=1, L=12 are standard positions in alphabet.

QUALITY is coded as QUALITU. What is the rule?
QUALITY: Last two letters T and Y are swapped to get QUALITU. This is a simple transposition of final two letters.
In a coding system, MOTHER is coded as PQVJGT. What is the code for FATHER?
Each letter is shifted forward by 2 positions in the alphabet. F→H, A→C, T→V, H→J, E→G, R→T.
GARDEN is coded as 7-1-18-4-5-14. Using the same pattern, how would GOLDEN be coded?
Letters are converted to their position numbers in the alphabet. G=7, O=15, L=12, D=4, E=5, N=14.
In code PROMISE becomes RPMISE. What is the pattern?
PROMISE: P and R swap, resulting in RPMISE. Only the first two letters exchange positions.
DOCTOR is coded as GQEVQT using a +3 shift cipher. How would SYSTEM be coded?
Each letter shifts forward by 3 positions. S→V, Y→B, S→V, T→W, E→H, M→I = VBVWHI.
In a code, PENCIL becomes QFODJM. What would ORANGE become?
Each letter shifts by +1. O→P, R→S, A→B, N→O, G→H, E→F = PSBOHF (re-check: O→P, R→S, A→B, N→O, G→H, E→F).
DIGITAL is coded by alternating uppercase-lowercase starting with uppercase: DiGiTaL becomes DIGITS in pattern. What is CAPITAL coded as?
Alternating case pattern: 1st uppercase, 2nd lowercase, etc. C-a-P-i-T-a-L = CaPiTaL.
SILVER is coded with vowels as numbers (A=1, E=5, I=9, O=15, U=21) and consonants unchanged. What is the code?
S remains, I→9, L remains, V remains, E→5, R remains = S9LV5R.
In a coding system, each letter is replaced by the letter that comes 3 positions after it in the alphabet. What would HELLO be coded as?
H→K, E→H, L→O, L→O, O→R. Each letter shifts 3 positions forward in the alphabet.
BRICKS is coded as DSCLMV. Based on this pattern, how would SMILE be coded?
Each letter shifts by 2 positions: S→U, M→O, I→K, L→N, E→G. The pattern is consistent +2 shift for each letter.
GARDEN is coded by placing vowels first followed by consonants in the code. What is the code for GARDEN?
Vowels in GARDEN: A, E. Consonants: G, R, D, N. Arranged as vowels first: A, E, then consonants G, D, R, N in their original order = AEGDRN.
In a positional coding system, A=1, B=2, C=3... Z=26. QUIZ is coded as 17-21-9-26. What would JUMP be coded as?
J=10, U=21, M=13, P=16. Using alphabetic position system directly.
A woman says, 'This man's mother is my mother's daughter.' Who is the man to the woman?
Woman's mother's daughter = Woman herself. So the man's mother is the woman. Therefore, the man is the woman's son.
If A is the mother of B, B is the sister of C, C is the father of D, then how is A related to D?
A is mother of B, B is sister of C, so C is also child of A. C is father of D, so D is grandchild of A. A is grandmother of D.
