Direction (6-10): dy the following information and answer the given questions:

In alphabetical series A-Z each letter except vowels is assigned a different number from 1-8 (for ex- B is coded as 1, C-2………..K-8)and again those numbers get repeated(for ex- L-1, M-2……..so on).

Also each vowel is assigned a different symbol viz. #, $, %, @, &.

For example-

In coded language-

“he is boy” is coded as – ** #7 4@1

“What do you mean” is coded as – 86$2  **   *@*   3%$2

“It is simple” is coded as – #8  #7  *#241*

(i) If both first and last letter of a word is consonant then the codes of both the consonants are interchanged.

(ii) If first letter of a word is consonant and last letter is vowel then both are to be coded as *.

(If the word does not satisfy the conditions given above then the letters of that word are to be coded as per the directions given above)
