7. C is code as 4, O as 9, L as 3, E as 7, & R as 6. So, COLLER is coded as

Page 9: Sbi Reasoning

493376.

8. M is coded as 2, E as 7, C as 4, H as 5, R as 6, A as 1 & L as 3. So,

MECHRALE is coded as 27456137.

9. D is coded as 3, I as 7, S as 6, T as 5, A as 4, & N as 8. So the DISTANT is

coded as 3765485.

10. N is coded as 8, E as 2, M as 9, I as 7 & S as 6. So NEMISES is coded as

8297626.

20. 2 is coded as E, 9 as L, 4 as I, 6 as M & 3 as S. So, 29463 is coded as

ELIMS.

21. R is coded as 2, I as 3, V as 4, E as 7, T as 6 & S as 9. So, RIVETS is

coded as 234769.

22. Here M is coded as 6 , A is coded as 2 , L is coded as 1 , E is coded as 7 ,

therefore male is coded as 6217

23. In the code the letters at odd places are one place ahead & those at

even places are one place before the corresponding letter in the word. So

in 35791, 3is written as 4, 5 as 4,7 as 8, 9 as 8 & 1 as 0. The code becomes

44880.

24. 4 will be written as 5, 5 as 6, 8 as 9, 2 as 1, 3 as 4. So the code is 5914.

25. Code is M as 3, A as 8, D as 9, U as 4, R as, 7 & I as 1. So, MADHRI is

coded as 3894781.
