Directions (11-15): In every question, two rows are given and to find out the resultant of a particular row you need to follow the following steps:
Step I: If an even number is followed by another even number (but not divisible by 4), then the resultant will be the addition of 5 with the addition of both the numbers.
Step II: If an even number is followed by the number divisible by 4 then the resultant will be the highest number among the two numbers.
Step III: If an odd number is followed by an even number, then the resultant will be the difference of both the numbers.
Step IV: If an odd number is followed by another odd number, then the resultant will be the addition of a greater number with 6.
Step V: If an even number is followed by an odd number, then the resultant will be the addition of both the numbers.

Solutions

Solution (1-5):
Numbers are coded as: The difference between the positional value of the letters which has the smallest and the largest positional value as per the English alphabetical series.
Symbol are coded as: If number of vowels in the letter is odd, then it is coded as “@”.
If number of vowels in the letter is even, then it is coded as “#”
Ex-‘fantasy’ is coded as ’24#”
Y has the highest positional value and ‘A’ has the lowest positional value. So, [25-1) = 24
Number of vowels in letter – 2 (even), so, the symbol will be ‘#’.
So, the code for ‘fantasy” is “24#”

Solution (6-10):
Sol.

S6. Ans. (d)
S7. Ans. (d)
S8. Ans. (c)
S9. Ans. (d)
S10. Ans. (e)

S11. Ans. (a)
Sol. In row 1, according to the given step, resultant of row 1 is 27.
In row 2, according to the given step, resultant of row 2 is 25.
Hence, required sum = 27 + 25 = 52.

S12. Ans. (c)
Sol. In row 1, according to the given step, resultant of row 1 is 25.
In row 2, according to the given step, resultant of row 2 is 5.
Hence, required multiplication = 25 x 5 = 125

S13. Ans. (b)
Sol. In row 1, according to the given step, resultant of row 1 is 27.
In row 2, according to the given step, resultant of row 2 is 19.
Hence, required difference = 27 – 19 = 8

S14. Ans. (d)
Sol. In row 2, according to the given step, resultant of row 2 is 33. So, X = 33
In row 1, according to the given step, resultant of row 1 is 39.

S15. Ans. (a)
Sol. In row 1, according to the given step, resultant of row 1 is 11.
In row 2, according to the given step, resultant of row 2 is 23.
So, required addition = 23 + 11 = 34
Hence, half of the number = 34/2 = 17
