Solutions:
(1 – 5):
In the code Number represents difference
between First letter and letter of the alphabetical order
The Letter represents second letter
added with itself and getting the alphabet of the sum
Symbol represents number of vowels in
the word => 1 vowel – !; 2 vowels – @; 3 vowels – #; 4 vowels – $; No vowel
– *
For Bit – 18r!
Symbol ! – total number of vowels in
the word.
Number 18 – (first letter – last
letter)
2 – 20 = 18
Letter r => Second letter i –
which position is ‘9th’
Add other 9 i.e. 9 + 9 = 18
18th letter = r
1. C) 2. A)
3. D) 4. B) 5. C)
(6 – 10):
First – symbol for total vowels.
If total vowel is 1 -!, 2 – @, 3 – #,
4 – $, 5 – %, 6 – ^, 7 – & ,…………. etc

in alphabetical order.
For example, point – have t is the
largest letter
