Eight persons A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H are seated around a circular table. They all are of different ages- 24, 15, 19, 30, 27, 45, 36 and 10. Four of them are facing towards the center and rest outside the center.
B sits 2nd to the left of A, who is 6 years younger than G. B and A, who is not the youngest face opposite direction. H’s age is a perfect square. The one who is 30years old sits 3rd to the right of B. Both the immediate neighbors of G face the opposite direction of G. F sits 2nd to the right of G. F is not an immediate neighbor of B. The one whose age is perfect cube faces inside and sits opposite to E, who is not an immediate neighbor of F. Not more than 2 persons who sit together face the same direction. H doesn’t sit just near to G. The one who is the oldest faces inside. The difference between the ages of D and C is 5yesrs. The youngest person is not an immediate neighbor of E. Age of E is not a prime number.

Sol. First letter of the code is obtained from reversing (A-Z, B-Y…) the alphabet which has the same rank as the total number of alphabets in the word.
For example – Trees->Total number of letters=5=Rank of E, reverse of E is V. So, the first letter of the code=V
The number in the code represents the total number of letters in the word divided by 2.
For example – Trees – total number of letters=5/2= 2.5
The last letter of the code is obtained from reversing (A-Z, B-Y…) the last letter of the word.
Trees→ Reverse of S is H. So, the code for trees is V2.5H
