Answers with Detailed Solutions – Tap to show
Every code consists of three parts- a
symbol , a number , an alphabet
The symbol corresponds to the first
alphabet of every word
The number is the square of the number of
alphabets in the word
The alphabet is the first alphabet of the
word.
By elimination we get
F= @
A= +
B=#
C=*
W= $
G= !
T=%
So the code for fragrance= @81f ( 81=9^2
which is the number of alphabets in the word)
And hence the codes and the respective
words are :
Basils       fragrance        sacred      around
#36b        @81f                 ^36s         +36a
Australia        tangerine       wolf
+81a                 %81t              $16w

Quetta      basket       catholic    fantasy
&36q          #36b           *64c        @49f
Sound        task         queen
^25s          %16t          &25q
Church        fool           globe
*36c             @16f         !25g
 
  1. e
  2. a
  3. d
  4. c
  5. c
