Peacock is designated as the national bird of India is coded as 5688999 35 1135556678 56 458 13666689 1334 79 13366 This coding scheme has the following rules:
1. The scheme is case-insensitive (does not distinguish between upper case and lower case letters).
2. Each letter has a unique code which is a single digit from among 1,2,3, …, 9.
3. The digit 9 codes two letters, and every other digit codes three letters.
4. The code for a word is constructed by arranging the digits corresponding to its letters in a non-decreasing sequence.
Answer these questions on the basis of this information.
What best can be concluded about the code for the letter L?
- 1
- 1 or 8
- 6
- 8
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
The correct answer is (A):
Given sentence:
"peacock is designated as the national bird of India"
is coded as:5688999 35 1135556678 56 458 13666689 1334 79 13366
Letter-to-digit analysis from known words:
- o and c → 9 (from peacock, of)
- f → 7 (from of)
- i → 3 (confirmed from is, India, designated)
- s → 5 (from is)
- a → 6 (from as)
- n → 6 (from national)
- d → 1 (from India)
- e → 5 (from designated)
- t → 8 (from the)
- h → 4 (from the)
- g → 7 (from designated)
- p, k → 8 (from peacock)
- b, r → 3 or 4 (from bird)
Finding the code for L:
From the word national, which appears as 13666689, we analyze the last few characters:
- L is the last letter in “national”
- The last digit in the code is 1
So we deduce:
L is coded as 1
Final Answer: 1
What best can be concluded about the code for the letter B?
- 1 or 3 or 4
- 3
- 1
- 3 or 4
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
The correct answer is (D):
Given sentence:
"peacock is designated as the national bird of India"
is coded as:5688999 35 1135556678 56 458 13666689 1334 79 13366
Decoded letters from words:
- o and c → 9 (from peacock, of)
- f → 7 (from of)
- i → 3 (confirmed from is, India, designated)
- s → 5 (from is)
- a → 6 (from as, designated)
- n → 6 (from national)
- d → 1 (from India)
- e → 5 (from designated)
- t → 8 (from the, national)
- h → 4 (from the)
- g → 7 (from designated)
- l → 1 (from national)
- p and k → 8 (from peacock)
From the word "bird":
We know the letters are: b, i, r, d
- i = 3
- d = 1
- r = 4
Thus, the remaining code in the sequence 1334 must be for b, which leaves either 3 or 4.
Therefore, the code for B is either 3
For how many digits can the complete list of letters associated with that digit be identified?
- 3
- 0
- 1
- 2
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
The correct answer is (D):
The sentence:
"peacock is designated as the national bird of India"
is coded as: 5688999 35 1135556678 56 458 13666689 1334 79 13366
Letter-to-digit mappings:
- 9 →
oandc(from peacock and of) - 7 →
fandg(from of and designated) - 3 →
i(confirmed from is, India, and designated) - 5 →
sande(from is, designated) - 6 →
aandn(from as, national) - 1 →
dandl(from India, national) - 8 →
t,p, andk(from the, peacock) - 4 →
handr(from the, bird)
From the word bird, we get:
b→ 3r→ 4d→ 1i→ 3
So, the codes for:
B= 3R= 4D= 1I= 3G= 7H= 4L= 1E= 5T= 8O,C= 9
From the analysis, most letters can be clearly associated with unique digits, but only 2 digits remain unaccounted for from the 10 possible digits (0–9), suggesting that:
Answer: 2 letters still need to be assigned distinct unused digits.
Final Answer: 2
Which set of letters CANNOT be coded with the same digit?
- S,U,V
- I,B,M
- X,Y,Z
- S,E,Z
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
The correct answer is (A):
Given the sentence:
“peacock is designated as the national bird of India”
is coded as: 5688999 35 1135556678 56 458 13666689 1334 79 13366
Code deductions from known mappings:
- 9 is used for
oandc(from peacock and of) - 7 is the code for
f(from of) - 3 is used for
i(from India, is, designated) - 5 is for
s(from is) - 6 is for
aandn(from as, national) - 1 is for
dandl(from India, national) - 8 is for
tandp,k(from the, peacock) - 4 is for
handr(from the, bird)
From “bird”, the letters b, i, r, d correspond to:
b= 3i= 3r= 4d= 1
Now focus on what is not coded with same digit:
S = 5UandVappear nowhere in the coded sentence- So we cannot reuse codes for
S, U, Vfrom known data
Therefore, S, U, V cannot be coded with the same digit.
Final Answer: S, U, V

- A round table has seven chairs around it. The chairs are numbered 1 through 7 in a clockwise direction. Four friends, Aslam (A), Bashir (B), Chhavi (C), and Davies (D), sit on four of the chairs. In the starting position, Aslam and Chhavi are sitting next to each other, while for Bashir as well as Davies, there are empty chairs on either side of the chairs they are sitting on.
The friends take turns moving either clockwise or counterclockwise from their chair. The friend who has to move in a turn occupies the first empty chair in whichever direction they choose to move. Aslam moves first (Turn 1), followed by Bashir, Chhavi, and Davies (Turns 2, 3, and 4, respectively). Then Aslam moves again followed by Bashir, and Chhavi (Turns 5, 6, and 7, respectively).
The following information is known: 1. The four friends occupy adjacent chairs only at the end of Turn 2 and Turn 6. 2. Davies occupies Chair 2 after Turn 1 and Chair 4 after Turn 5, and Chhavi occupies Chair 7 after Turn 2. At InnovateX, six employees, Asha, Bunty, Chintu, Dolly, Eklavya, and Falguni, were split into two groups of three each: Elite led by Manager Kuku, and Novice led by Manager Lalu. At the end of each quarter, Kuku and Lalu handed out ratings to all members in their respective groups. In each group, each employee received a distinct integer rating from 1 to 3. & nbsp;
The score for an employee at the end of a quarter is defined as their cumulative rating from the beginning of the year. At the end of each quarter the employee in Novice with the highest score was promoted to Elite, and the employee in Elite with the minimum score was demoted to Novice. If there was a tie in scores, the employee with a higher rating in the latest quarter was ranked higher.
1. Asha, Bunty, and Chintu were in Elite at the beginning of Quarter 1. All of them were in Novice at the beginning of Quarter 4.
2. Dolly and Falguni were the only employees who got the same rating across all the quarters.
3. The following is known about ratings given by Lalu (Novice manager):
– Bunty received a rating of 1 in Quarter 2. & nbsp;
– Asha and Dolly received ratings of 1 and 2, respectively, in Quarter 3.- Faculty members in a management school can belong to one of four departments – Finance and Accounting (F&A), Marketing and Strategy (M&S), Operations and Quants (O&Q) and Behaviour and Human Resources (B&H).
