In the given figure, EF and HJ are coded as 30 and 80, respectively. Which one among the given options is most appropriate for the entries marked (i) and (ii) ? EF HJ FG (i) 35 (ii) 80 30

Circle divided into eight sectors containing EF, HJ, FG, (i), 35, (ii), 80, and 30 in opposite pairs.

Answer: C. (i) EG; (ii) 42Each labeled sector is paired with the sector directly opposite it, and the number is the product of the alphabetical positions of the two letters. Thus, EF…

  1. A.

    (i) EH; (ii) 40

  2. B.

    (i) JK; (ii) 36

  3. C.

    (i) EG; (ii) 42

  4. D.

    (i) PS; (ii) 14

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Each labeled sector is paired with the sector directly opposite it, and the number is the product of the alphabetical positions of the two letters. Thus, EF is opposite 30, and E(5) × F(6) = 30; similarly, HJ is opposite 80, and H(8) × J(10) = 80. Since (i) is opposite 35, its letters must be EG because E(5) × G(7) = 35. Since FG is opposite (ii), (ii) = F(6) × G(7) = 42. Therefore, (i) = EG and (ii) = 42.
