Conditions –
(i) If the first element is a symbol and the last element an odd number, the codes for these two (the first and the last elements) are to be interchanged.
(ii) If the first element is an odd number and the last an even number, the first and the last elements are to be coded as ©
(iii) If both second and third elements are perfect squares, the third element is to be coded as the code for the second element.

What will be the code for the following group?
& 8 $ 9 5

The correct answer is

TBMCF

To solve this problem, we need to decode the given group of symbols and numbers {@ 8 $ 9 5} based on the rules provided in the form of conditions.

Number/Symbol3@84$&2%#1+975
CodeUGBKMFXREQSCVT
  1. First, decode each element in the sequence & 8 $ 9 5 using the table:
    • & → F
    • 8 → B
    • $ → M
    • 9 → C
    • 5 → T
  2. Check the conditions:
    • Condition (i): The first element is & (a symbol) and the last element is 5 (an odd number). Hence, the codes for & (first) and 5 (last) need to be interchanged.
    • Condition (ii) and (iii) are not applicable because:
      • The first element is not an odd number (so condition (ii) doesn't apply).
      • The second (8) and third ($) elements are not both perfect squares (8 is a perfect square but $ is not a number), so condition (iii) doesn't apply.
  3. Apply Condition (i) and interchange the codes:
    • Initial Code Sequence: F, B, M, C, T
    • Apply interchange: T, B, M, C, F

Therefore, the correct option is TBMCF.
