Topic quiz 5: Codes, rules and exceptions

  1. Question 1 of 16

    In a code, CAT is written as DBU. How is DOG written in the same code?
    Show answer

    Answer: C. EPH

    Each letter moves forward one place: C→D, A→B, T→U. So D→E, O→P, G→H gives EPH.

  2. Question 2 of 16

    In a code, MAP is written as KYN. How is RUN written in the same code?
    Show answer

    Answer: C. PSL

    Each letter moves back two places: M→K, A→Y (going back past A to Z, Y), P→N. So R→P, U→S, N→L gives PSL.

  3. Question 3 of 16

    In a code, LAMP is written as PMAL. How is DESK written in the same code?
    Show answer

    Answer: A. KSED

    The code writes the word backwards. DESK backwards is KSED.

  4. Question 4 of 16

    In a code, BED is written as 2-5-4. How is FACE written?
    Show answer

    Answer: D. 6-1-3-5

    Each letter becomes its position in the alphabet: F = 6, A = 1, C = 3, E = 5.

  5. Question 5 of 16

    In a code, the word CAB has the value 6. Using the same rule, what is the value of BAD?
    Show answer

    Answer: C. 7

    The value is the sum of the letter positions: C(3) + A(1) + B(2) = 6. BAD is 2 + 1 + 4 = 7.

  6. Question 6 of 16

    In a code, GO is written as TL. How is ME written?
    Show answer

    Answer: A. NV

    Each letter is swapped with its "opposite" letter, so the two positions add up to 27: G(7)→T(20), O(15)→L(12). M(13)→N(14) and E(5)→V(22).

  7. Question 7 of 16

    In a code, "blue car park" is written "ki lo ma", "red car wash" is written "ta ki su", and "blue sky" is written "ma re". Words may be coded in any order. What is the code for "park"?
    Show answer

    Answer: C. lo

    "car" is in the first two phrases, and only "ki" is in both codes. "blue" is in the first and third, so it is "ma". That leaves "lo" for "park".

  8. Question 8 of 16

    In a code, BOX is written as YPC. How is HAT written?
    Show answer

    Answer: D. UBI

    Two steps: move each letter forward one (BOX→CPY), then write it backwards (YPC). HAT→IBU→UBI.

  9. Question 9 of 16

    In a code, each digit is replaced by 9 minus that digit, so 2047 becomes 7952. What does 3816 become?
    Show answer

    Answer: D. 6183

    9 − 3 = 6, 9 − 8 = 1, 9 − 1 = 8, 9 − 6 = 3, giving 6183.

  10. Question 10 of 16

    Overtime is paid for hours worked over 40 in a week. Managers do not get overtime pay. Using the table, who earns overtime pay this week?
    EmployeeRoleHours this week
    AnaClerk38
    BenManager46
    CaraDriver44
    DevClerk40
    Show answer

    Answer: D. Cara

    Only Ben and Cara worked over 40 hours. Ben is a manager, so only Cara earns overtime. Dev worked exactly 40, which is not over 40.

  11. Question 11 of 16

    Rule: Visitors may enter Zone B only with an escort. When the alarm is set, only security staff may enter Zone B. Who may enter Zone B?
    Show answer
