Question

A group of numbers and symbols is coded using letter codes as per the codes given below and the conditions that follow. Study the given codes and conditions and answer the question that follows.
Note: If none of the conditions apply, then codes for the respective number/symbol are to be followed directly as given in the table.
LetterFTEPAUXR
Code7$@92%64

Conditions:
1. If the 1st letter is a vowel and the last letter is a consonant, their codes are to be interchanged.
2. If the 2nd letter is a vowel and the last letter is a consonant, both are to be coded as 'W'.
3. If the 3rd and 4th letters are consonants, both are to be coded as the code for the 3rd letter.
4. If the 1st and 2nd letters are vowels, then both are to be coded as 'Q'.
What will be the code for the following group?
TAEX

The correct answer is
$W@W

TAEX Coding Rules Explained

This solution explains the coding process for the group 'TAEX' based on the provided letter-to-code mapping and specific conditions. We need to determine the correct code for 'TAEX' by carefully applying the given rules.

TAEX Letter Codes

First, let's find the standard codes for each letter in the group 'TAEX' from the provided table:

LetterTAEX
Code$2@6

Based on this, the initial, uncoded sequence for 'TAEX' is '$ 2 @ 6'.

TAEX Conditions Analysis

Next, we must check each of the given conditions to see if they apply to the group 'TAEX':

TAEX Condition 1

Rule: If the 1st letter is a vowel and the last letter is a consonant, their codes are to be interchanged.

Application to TAEX: In 'TAEX', the 1st letter is 'T', which is a Consonant. The last letter is 'X', which is a Consonant. Since the 1st letter ('T') is not a vowel, this condition does not apply.

TAEX Condition 2

Rule: If the 2nd letter is a vowel and the last letter is a consonant, both are to be coded as 'W'.

Application to TAEX: In 'TAEX', the 2nd letter is 'A', which is a Vowel. The last letter is 'X', which is a Consonant. Both parts of this condition are met. Therefore, the codes for 'A' and 'X' will be replaced with 'W'.

TAEX Condition 3

Rule: If the 3rd and 4th letters are consonants, both are to be coded as the code for the 3rd letter.

Application to TAEX: In 'TAEX', the 3rd letter is 'E', which is a Vowel. The 4th letter is 'X', which is a Consonant. Since the 3rd letter ('E') is not a consonant, this condition does not apply.

TAEX Condition 4

Rule: If the 1st and 2nd letters are vowels, then both are to be coded as 'Q'.

Application to TAEX: In 'TAEX', the 1st letter is 'T', which is a Consonant. The 2nd letter is 'A', which is a Vowel. Since the 1st letter ('T') is not a vowel, this condition does not apply.

TAEX Rule Application

After analyzing all conditions, we found that only Condition 2 is applicable to the group 'TAEX'. This condition modifies the codes for the 2nd and the last letters.

  • The 1st letter 'T' retains its original code: '$'.
  • The 2nd letter 'A' is changed to 'W' according to Condition 2.
  • The 3rd letter 'E' retains its original code: '@'.
  • The 4th letter 'X' is changed to 'W' according to Condition 2.

TAEX Final Code

Combining the codes for each letter after applying the applicable condition:

  • T -> $
  • A -> W
  • E -> @
  • X -> W

Thus, the final code for 'TAEX' is '$W@W'.

Important Questions from Conditional Matrix

  1. Select the option in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following sets.

    (NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits. E.g. 13 – Operations on 13 such as adding /deleting /multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed)
