   Option C
   Explanation:
   The code consists of 4 terms
   (i) First term : It is the second alphabet of any word. Example drone – r is the second alphabet.
   (ii) Second term : represents the number of vowel in a word. Example in drone there are two vowels. Hence Number is 2
   (iii) Third term : it is the alphabet corresponding to the second last alphabet of a word in reverse order. Example in drone- second last alphabet is N. In reverse order N=M
   (iv) Fourth Term : Symbols represent the last alphabet of each word. Notice that in each line all the words ends in e,l,h or t. L=$, E=#, T=+, H=/

Directions (6-10): Study the following information to answer the given questions:
In a certain code,
‘Rust Fish Joint Farm’ is written as             ‘9©S     5$S      3%L      3@G ’,
‘Nurse Pirate Label Hint’ is written as       ‘6%K     4@S      8@D     7©D’,
‘Recall Dump Light House’ is written as    ‘4$D    2©O      6@S     9#K’, and
‘Loyal Best Pale Letter’ is written as          ‘1#S      6#Q      6$K      8%D’.

6. Which is the code for ‘Honey Bunny’?
   A) 3$S 2%X
   B) 4$X 1©X
   C) 1@X 2©D
   D) 4#E 4%B
   E) Cannot be determined
   
   View Answer

   Option B
   
   (i) Numbers – First letter of word divided by 2. For Honey – First letter H = 8, so 8/2 = 4
   (ii) For symbols: second letter of word is used
   a – %, e- #, I – @, o – $, u – ©
   So for Honey, second letter o changes to $
   (iii) For alphabet, last letter of word changes to its previous letter in alphabet
   So for Honey, last letter y to (y – 1) = X
   so Honey is 4$X
   Bunny:
   B = 2, so 2/2 = 1
   for second letter u – ©
   For last letter y => X
   So Bunny is 1©X
