Question : If a man goes from place A to B at a speed of 12 km/hr and return at a speed of 18 km/hr, then the average speed for the whole journey is:
Option 1: $6 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{hr}$
Option 2: $30 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{hr}$

Question : Directions: In a certain coding system, if CHICANERY is written as DNODTHVKS, how will CRANE be written in the same coding system?
Option 1: DKTHV
Option 2: DOTKV
Option 3: CJSGU
Option 4: HKSHO
Correct Answer: DKTHV
Solution : Given: CHICANERY is written as DNODTHVKS.
Each letter of CHICANERY has a unique coded letter – C→D; H→N; I→O; A→T; N→H; E→V; R→K; Y→S Thus, CHICANERY is coded as DNODTHVKS. Similarly, follow the same pattern for CRANE – C→D; R→K; A→T; N→H; E→V
Thus, CRANE
