Directions (21-25): In each question below is given a group of letters followed by four combinations of digits/ symbols numbered (1), (2), (3) and
(4). You have to find out which of the combinations correctly represents the group of letters based on the following coding system and the conditions that follow and mark the number of that combination as your answer. If none of combinations correctly represents the group of letters, mark (5) i.e. 'None of these' as your answer.
Conditions:
(i) If the first letter is a consonantand the fourth letter isa vowel, both are to be coded
as the code for the vowel.
(ii) If the second letter is a vowel and the last letter is a consonant both are to be coded as 6.
