Solutions (1-5):
Sol. Number in the code is the absolute difference between the place value of the first letter and last letter as per English alphabetical series.
The symbol in the code is based on the number of consonants in the words.
For the words with odd number of consonants, # is written.
For the words with even number of consonants, & is written.

For example:
CRICKETERS is coded as ’16#”
Number = (Last letter – First letter) = C (19) – S (3) = 16
Symbol: Number of consonants = 7, so # is written.
