   • AFQI
   • BEOH
   • CEPH
   • DCNF

   • APSM
   • BQTM
   • CPSL
   • DTWP

   Risposta: 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. Domanda 3 di 16

   • AKSED
   • BDKSE
   • CSKED

4. Domanda 4 di 16

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

   • A5-1-3-5
   • B6-2-3-5
   • C6-1-3-4
   • D6-1-3-5
   Mostra la risposta

   Risposta: D. 6-1-3-5

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

5. Domanda 5 di 16

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

   • A6
   • B9
   • C7
   • D8
   Mostra la risposta

   Risposta: 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. Domanda 6 di 16

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

   • ANV
   • BLD
   • COV
   • DNW
   Mostra la risposta

   Risposta: 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. Domanda 7 di 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"?

   • Aki
   • Bma
   • Clo
   • Dta
   Mostra la risposta

   Risposta: 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. Domanda 8 di 16

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

   • AUBJ
   • BIBU
   • CTAH
   • DUBI
   Mostra la risposta

   Risposta: D. UBI

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

9. Domanda 9 di 16

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

   • A4927
   • B6813
   • C6283
   • D6183
   Mostra la risposta

   Risposta: D. 6183

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

10. Domanda 10 di 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?

    Employee	Role	Hours this week
    Ana	Clerk	38
    Ben	Manager	46
    Cara	Driver	44
    Dev	Clerk	40

    • AAna
    • BBen
    • CDev
    • DCara
    Mostra la risposta

    Risposta: 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.

    • AA contractor with a signed form and a supervisor's approval who wants a regular key
    • BA manager without a signed form who wants a master key
    • CA contractor with a signed form but no approval who wants a regular key

    Mostra la risposta

    Risposta: A. A contractor with a signed form and a supervisor's approval who wants a regular key

    The contractor has both the signed form and the approval, and wants a regular key. The others are missing a form or an approval, or are not managers asking for a master key.
