THE MESSAGE IS ENCODED WITH A CAESAR CIPHER WHERE
EACH LETTER IS SHIFTED 3 PLACES. HOW WOULD YOU
DECODE THE MESSAGE "KHOOR"?

A) SHIFT EACH LETTER 3 PLACES TO THE LEFT

B) SHIFT EACH LETTER 3 PLACES TO THE RIGHT
C) SHIFT EACH LETTER 7 PLACES TO THE LEFT
D) SHIFT EACH LETTER 7 PLACES TO THE RIGHT

HINT: In the Caesar Cipher, each letter of the original message is shifted a certain number of places down
the alphabet.
ISTE
ROUND 1

ANS: B) SHIFT EACH LETTER 3

PLACES TO THE RIGHT

In this case, the message "khoor" was shifted 3 places, so to decode

it, we would shift each letter 3 places to the right (back to its original
position) to get "hello".

IN A CERTAIN CODE 'COMPUTER' IS WRITTEN AS
'CPOUMTER'. HOW IS 'SCIENCE' WRITTEN IN THAT CODE?

A) SDIENCE
B) SCIECNE
C) SDCNEIE
D) SCNEDIE
ISTE ROUND 1

Ans C) SDCNEIE
The word 'SCIENCE' would be written as 'SDCNEIE' in that code.

This is a simple letter shifting code. Each letter is shifted one position
ahead, but for letter 'S' it is shifted 2 position ahead. Therefore, 'S' in
'SCIENCE' becomes 'D' in the encoded message.

ROUND 1
IN A SPECIAL NIT’S & IIT’S RANKING, NIT WARANGAL IS
SEVEN FROM THE FRONT WHILE NIT DURGAPUR IS NINE
FROM THE LAST. IF MNIT JAIPUR IS FOURTEENTH FROM
THE FRONT AND IS EXACTLY IN THE MIDDLE OF NITW
AND NITD, THEN FIND THE NUMBER OF IITS & NITS IN
THE RANKING.
A) 28 B)30 C)29 D)31
ISTE

ROUND 1
ANSWER:
- NITW = 7th from front; MNIT = 14th from front. As
MNIT is exactly between NITW and NITD, therefore the
rank of NITD from front will be = 14 + (14 - 7) = 21. So,
NITD's rank from front is 21 and from last is 9. Thus, total
number of IITs & NITs in row = 21 + 9 - 1 = 29.
