The One With The "Code War"

Secret codes are often used, by spies and military, to carry out operations. In one such case, the CBI Coders, Ashima, Roshan and Himanshu, intercepted a mail in which they picked out two patterns, which they suspected could be the key. The rest of the code has been deciphered and conveys information about the camps of a terrorist group. Only the cities where these camps are located now are to be found.  You have been asked to decipher and answer before it’s too late!

All you have is the piece of information provided below:

(Hint: You can have multiple codes for an alphabet, but only one way to decipher it back.)

Question 1:

The first line of the code when deciphered comes out to be “GIFT DEATH TO”.

Given below are the possible deciphered texts of the encircled code.

Kanpur = 1            Nagpur = 2                Mumbai = 3              Delhi = 4

Patna =5                Ahmedabad = 6        Bengaluru = 7           Hyderabad = 8

Add up the numbers corresponding to the correct deciphered possibilities.

1) 12                2) 13            3) 14            4) 16

Question 2:

Which of the following given possibilities can under no condition, be ciphered using the code logic of the previous question?

Kanpur = 1              Chennai = 2       Ahmedabad = 3        Kolkata = 4

Hyderabad= 5        Srinagar= 6        Varanasi= 7              Jaipur = 8

Add up the numbers corresponding to these possibilities.

1) 26                2) 27            3) 28            4) 29

Question 3:

In how many ways the word “EUROPE” can be ciphered according to the code logic

used in the first question?

1) 4                2) 12            3) 0            4) 8
