  • Before 10 years, X was half of Y, i.e..

  • Ratio of their present ages is , i.e..

Question 8

Write in Short Short Answer▾

If the word ‘ddosszm’ is changed to ‘central’ then what will be the change for ‘rtjbl’ ?

Edit

Explanation

Here, ddosszm = central

d = c, i.e.. first letter is decremented by 1 position

d = e, i.e.. second letter is incremented by 1 position

o = n, i.e.. third letter is decremented by 1 position

s = t, i.e.. fourth letter is incremented by 1 position

s = r, i.e.. fifth letter is decremented by 1 position

z = a, i.e.. sixth letter is incremented by 1 position

m = l, i.e.. seventh letter is decremented by 1 position

We need to follow the same pattern for the given word ‘rtjbl’

r = decrementing 1 position = q

t = incrementing 1 position = u

j = decrementing 1 position = i

b = incrementing 1 position = c

l = decrementing 1 position = k

So, ‘rtjbl’ will be changed for ‘quick’ .
