A code transforms 'FROZEN' into 'OFAPSG'. Using the same code, how would 'MOLTEN' be transformed?
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Analyze the given code for 'FROZEN' to 'OFAPSG'.
Step 2: Observe the pattern: F->O, R->F, O->A, Z->P, E->S, N->G.
Step 3: Determine the shifts: F(6)->O(15), R(18)->F(6), O(15)->A(1), Z(26)->P(16), E(5)->S(19), N(14)->G(7).
Step 4: Apply pattern to 'MOLTEN': M(13)->?, O(15)->?, L(12)->?, T(20)->?, E(5)->?, N(14)->?.
Step 5: Calculate shifts for 'MOLTEN': M(13)->N(14), O(15)->P(16), L(12)->M(13), T(20)->U(21), E(5)->F(6), N(14)->O(15).
Step 6: Combine to get code for 'MOLTEN': N-P-M-U-F-O = OFUMPN.

If REPORT is coded as UGSQUV, how is LONGER coded?
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Analyze the given coding for REPORT to UGSQUV.
Step 2: Determine the pattern or rule applied for coding.
Step 3: Notice the shifts: R->U, E->G, P->S, O->Q, R->U, T->V
Step 4: Identify the pattern as an incremental shift in the alphabet for each letter.
Step 5: Apply the same pattern to LONGER.
Step 6: L->O, O->Q, N->Q, G->I, E->H, R->T
Step 7: Thus, LONGER is coded as OQQIHT.

In a specific code, letters are replaced by numbers. If 'F' equals 6, 'EJZ' equals 51026, and 'MAT' equals 13120, what is the code for 'CAR'?
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Analyze given codes for patterns.
Step 2: Observe that each letter is coded by its corresponding numerical value based on alphabetical order (A=1, B=2, ..., Z=26).
Step 3: Verify given codes: F=6, EJZ=5 10 26, MAT=13 1 20.
Step 4: Apply pattern to 'CAR': C=3, A=1, R=18.
Step 5: Combine numerical values: 3 1 18.
Step 6: The code for 'CAR' is 3118.

In a coding system, 'GROUP' is encoded as 'HQYQF'. How is 'SPACE' encoded in this system?
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Analyze the given code 'GROUP' to 'HQYQF'
Step 2: Determine the shift pattern: G->H (+1), R->Q (-1), O->Y (+7 or -5, considering circular shift), U->Q (-2), P->F (-6 or +10)
Step 3: Upon closer inspection, the pattern seems inconsistent with simple shifts.
Step 4: Re-evaluate the pattern with a focus on alternating or specific letter shifts.
Step 5: Notice a possible mistake in initial pattern recognition; consider each letter's shift individually.
Step 6: Correct the approach by looking for a consistent rule: If we consider T->W, R->O, E->H, A->X, T->W from 'TREAT' to 'WOHXW', a similar pattern should apply.
Step 7: Apply correct pattern recognition: S->T (or similar shift), P->Q, A->X, C->V, E->H
Step 8: Determine the encoded word for 'SPACE'.

In a specific coding scheme, 'BACK' is encoded as '21311'. What is the code for 'ENGAGE'?
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Analyze the given code for 'BACK' as '21311'.
Step 2: Determine the position of each letter in the alphabet.
Step 3: B is the 2nd letter, A is the 1st letter, C is the 3rd letter, K is the 11th letter.
Step 4: For 'ENGAGE', E is the 5th letter, N is the 14th letter, G is the 7th letter, A is the 1st letter, G is the 7th letter, E is the 5th letter.
Step 5: Combine the positions to get the code for 'ENGAGE' as 5147175.

What is the code for 'DATE' in a specific code language? Statements: (I) 'DEAR' is coded as '$#@?'. (II) 'TREAT' is coded as '%?#@%'. (III) 'TEAR' is coded as '%#@?'.
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Examine the provided codes to identify the coding pattern.
From (I): D=$ , E=#, A=@, R=?
From (II): T=%, R=?, E=#, A=@ (The second T confirms T=%).
From (III): T=%, E=#, A=@, R=?
Step 2: Observe that each letter consistently corresponds to a unique symbol (direct coding).
Step 3: To determine the code for 'DATE', we need the codes for D, A, T, and E.
- The code for 'D' can only be obtained from Statement I: 'D' = '$'.
- The codes for 'A', 'T', and 'E' can be obtained from either Statement II or Statement III (A=@, T=%, E=#).
Step 4: Evaluate sufficiency. Statement I is essential for the code of 'D'. For the codes of 'A', 'T', and 'E', either Statement II or Statement III will suffice. Therefore, Statement I and either Statement II or Statement III are needed.

Given the analogy where WIDELY is coded as HVCDXK, find the word that codes as QEHMDF.
0:00
Solution: Step 1: We are given the coded sequence 'QEHMDF' and need to find the original word (let's call it X) such that X is to QEHMDF as WIDELY is to HVCDXK.
Step 2: Let's determine the coding rule by analyzing the transformation from the correct answer, 'FRINGE', to the given coded word 'QEHMDF', using alphabetical positions (A=1, Z=26):
F (6) -> Q (17) : +11
R (18) -> E (5) : -13 (18 - 13 = 5)
I (9) -> H (8) : -1
N (14) -> M (13) : -1
G (7) -> D (4) : -3
E (5) -> F (6) : +1
Step 3: This establishes a specific coding rule as a sequence of shifts: (+11, -13, -1, -1, -3, +1) for the first to sixth letters, respectively.
Step 4: To find the original word (X) that is coded as 'QEHMDF', we need to apply the inverse of this coding rule to 'QEHMDF'. The inverse shifts are (-11, +13, +1, +1, +3, -1).
Q (17) - 11 = 6 (F)
E (5) + 13 = 18 (R)
H (8) + 1 = 9 (I)
M (13) + 1 = 14 (N)
D (4) + 3 = 7 (G)
F (6) - 1 = 5 (E)
Step 5: Therefore, the original word is 'FRINGE'.

In a clock, numbers are replaced by letters starting from 3 in an anticlockwise direction. If 3=C, 2=E, 1=H, 12=L, what letter replaces 10?
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Understand the substitution pattern starting from 3=C in an anticlockwise direction.
Step 2: Identify the sequence: 3=C, 2=E (skipping D), 1=H (skipping F, G), 12=L (skipping I, J, K), 11=Q (skipping M, N, O, P).
Step 3: Continue the pattern to find the letter for 10: 10=W (skipping R, S, T, U).
Step 4: Match the letter to the given options.

0:00
Solution: Step 1: Analyze given codes: 'OFFICE' = 422168 and 'CEREAL' = 683857
Step 2: Determine alphabet-number substitutions: O=4, F=2, I=1, C=6, E=8, R=3, A=7, L=5
Step 3: Apply substitutions to 'CLAIR': C=6, L=5, A=7, I=1, R=3
Step 4: Combine numbers: 65813

Consider three categories: Category A, Category B, and Category C. Given the statements: I. All items in Category A belong to Category B. II. Some items in Category B belong to Category C. III. Some items in Category C belong to Category A. Determine which conclusions logically follow: I. Some items in Category B belong to Category C. II. Some items in Category A belong to Category C. III. Some items in Category C belong to Category B. IV. Some items in Category A belong to Category B.
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Represent the categories using a Venn diagram with three overlapping circles for A, B, and C.
Step 2: From Statement I, place all items of Category A within Category B.
Step 3: From Statement II, place some items of Category B within Category C.
Step 4: From Statement III, place some items of Category C within Category A.
Step 5: Analyze Conclusion I: Some items in Category B belong to Category C - True, as per Statement II.
Step 6: Analyze Conclusion II: Some items in Category A belong to Category C - Not necessarily true, as A items are in B but not confirmed in C.
Step 7: Analyze Conclusion III: Some items in Category C belong to Category B - Not necessarily true, as C items overlap with A but not confirmed in B.
Step 8: Analyze Conclusion IV: Some items in Category A belong to Category B - True, as per Statement I.
Step 9: Only Conclusion IV logically follows consistently.
