Question 7

In a certain code language, ‘BHOPAL’ is coded as ‘6-24-45-48-3-36’, and ‘IMPHAL’ is
coded as ‘27-39-48-24-3-36’. How will ‘KOHIMA’ be coded in that language?

Accepted Answer

The pattern involves multiplying the positional value of each consonant by 3 and the positional value of each vowel by 3, then subtracting 3. For example, B (2) -> 2*3 = 6, H (8) -> 8*3 = 24, O (15) -> 15*3-3 = 42 (error in question or my understanding), P (16) -> 16*3 = 48, A (1) -> 1*3-3 = 0 (error in question or my understanding), L (12) -> 12*3 = 36. Let's re-evaluate. It seems the pattern is: Consonants are multiplied by 3. Vowels are multiplied by 3, then 3 is subtracted. B(2)*3=6, H(8)*3=24, O(15)*3-3=42 (still doesn't match 45). Let's try another pattern. It seems the pattern is: Consonants are multiplied by 3. Vowels are multiplied by 3. For BHOPAL: B(2)*3=6, H(8)*3=24, O(15)*3=45, P(16)*3=48, A(1)*3=3, L(12)*3=36. This matches perfectly. For KOHIMA: K(11)*3=33, O(15)*3=45, H(8)*3=24, I(9)*3=27, M(13)*3=39, A(1)*3=3. So, KOHIMA is 33-45-24-27-39-3.

Question 16

The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that
contains a grammatical error.
What would / happen if / human beings were / govern by robots?

The sentence is in the passive voice. After 'were', a past participle form of the verb is required, not the base form. Therefore, 'govern' should be 'governed'.

Question 17

Select the option that expresses the given sentence in passive voice.
Most lizards rely on camouflage to hide from their enemies.

Accepted Answer

The original sentence is in the simple present tense (rely). When converting a simple present active voice sentence to passive voice, the structure becomes 'is/am/are + past participle'. Therefore, 'Camouflage is relied on by most lizards...' is the correct passive form.
