Solution (6-10):
For the letters: Letters for the given code are the letters, which corresponds to the second succeeding consonant (as per the English alphabetical series) of the first letter of the word.
For example, in a word ‘utilise’ 2nd succeeding consonant of ‘U’ is ‘W’ similarly in the word ‘control’ 2nd succeeding consonant is ‘F’.
For the Symbols: There are 3 types of symbols are used in the given coded language i.e., @, # and $.
If the total number of alphabets in a word is an odd number but not a prime number, use symbol #.
If the total number of letters in a word is a prime odd number, then use symbol $.
If the total number of letters in a word is an even number, then use symbol @.
For the Numbers: Count the total number of vowels appear in a word (may or may not occur more than once) and then multiply that number with 2.
For example, in the word ‘CONTROL’ there are 2 vowels i.e., O, so, multiply 2 by 2, so, the number code for the word ‘CONTROL’ is ‘4’.

S6. Ans. (c)
S7. Ans. (e)
S8. Ans. (a)
S9. Ans. (b)
S10. Ans. (b)

Solution (11-15):
The number before the letter in the code is the value of the last letter of the word in the alphabetical series.
The letter in the code is the immediate next letter of the letter which have highest numerical value in the word as per alphabetical series.
The number after the letter in the code is the number of consonants in the word.

Example: PUBLIC
The last letter of word is ‘C’, its value in the alphabetical series is ‘3’.
The letter ‘U’ in the word have highest numerical value. The immediate next letter of U in alphabetical series is ‘V’.
Number of consonants in the word is 4.
Therefore, the code for ‘PUBLIC’ is ‘3V4’.
