Directions (6-8) :
We have:
Health ->K#7
Above statements are coded as follows:
A ->@
E ->#
U -> %
I ->&
O ->^
R ->£
T ->¥
Case (1): If number of letters in the word are even.
Then, add ‘1’ from number of letters.
Case (2): If number of letters in the word are odd.
Then, subtract ‘2’ to number of letters.
Case (1): If number of letters in the word are even.
Then, Letter + 3
For Example: Health
H + 3 = K
Case (2): If number of letters in the word are odd.
Then, Letter – 3
For Example: Build
B – 3 = Y
6) Answer: B
We have:
Strong -> V¥7
Group -> D£3
Hence, option B is correct choice.
7) Answer: D
We have:
Build -> Y%3
Care -> F@5
Hence, option D is correct
8) Answer: C
We have:
Better -> E#7
Sound -> P^3
Quality -> N%5
Hence, option C is correct choice.
9) Answer: B
Only assumption II follows
10) Answer: B
The correct answer is option b, i.e. All except I, II are implicit. An assumption is a thing that is accepted as true or as certain to happen, without proof. Both I and II cannot be selected as appropriate assumptions as they focus on the aim of the meeting which has already happened. Moreover, II is an elaborated version of I only. Whereas, in III it assumes the idea that the exercise would culminate in the chief’s private meeting (conclave) to be held in September which aims to review the exercise. We always look for the most appropriate answer choice among the given choices available. III is more apt from the rest two assumptions mentioned. Thus, we can infer that the correct answer choice is option b.
