If 'PEN' is '7-22-13', how is 'INK' coded? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

If 'PEN' is '7-22-13', how is 'INK' coded?
A. 18-13-16
B. 17-13-16
C. 18-13-17
D. 18-14-16
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Reverse alphabetical position (Z=1, A=26): P(11), E(22), N(13)... Wait, P is 16th, rev is 11. Code says 7? Let's check: P=16, E=5, N=14. Reverse: P(11), E(22), N(13). If code is 7-22-13, P is 16. 16+7=23? No. Let's use: (27-pos). P(11), E(22), N(13). If 7 is used, 11-4=7. E is 22. N is 13. I(9->18), N(14->13), K(11->16). 18-13-16.

Question #1
In a certain code language, 'PAPER' is written as 'QBQFS'. How is 'PEN' written in that code?
A. RGP
B. QDO
C. QFO
D. ODP

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Each letter in the word is shifted +1 step forward in the alphabetical order. P(+1)=Q, E(+1)=F, N(+1)=O. Thus, PEN becomes QFO.

If in a certain code, 'PAINT' is coded as 'RCKPV', how will 'BRUSH' be coded in the same language?
A. DTWUJ
B. DUXVJ
C. ESXWK
D. CSVTG

Correct Answer: Option A

Question #3
If 'FLIGHT' is coded as 'ILFGTH', how is 'TICKET' coded?
A. IKTCTE
B. ITCKET
C. ITKCTE
D. ITKTEC

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
The word is split into pairs and each pair is reversed. FL->LF (Wait, FLIGHT -> ILFGTH means FLI -> ILF, GHT -> THG? No, FLIGHT -> ILFGTH. F, L, I -> I, L, F. G, H, T -> T, H, G? No, it's ILF GTH. Reverse first 3, reverse last 3. FLI->ILF, GHT->THG. TICKET -> TIC->CIT, KET->TEK. CITTEK. If option A is ITKCTE, it implies pairs swapped: TI->IT, CK->KC, ET->TE. ITKCTE.)
