Conditions:
1. If both the first and last elements are prime number, then interchange their codes.
2. If the second element is an even digit and the fourth element is a symbol, then code both of them with the code of the fourth element.
3. If the first element is a perfect square and the last element is a symbol, then code both of them as Z.
4. If the third element is an even prime and the fifth element is an odd prime, then code both of them as S.

(Directions 6 – 10): In each of the following questions given below, a group of digits/letters is given followed by four combinations of symbols numbered A, B, C and D. You have to find out which of the following four combinations correctly represent the group of digits/letters based on the symbol codes and the conditions given below. If none of the combinations matches, choose ‘None of these’ as your answer.

And the rest of the letters will be coded as the sum of the digits of the numerical position of them in the alphabetical series.

Condition 1:
If the sum of the numbers in the code is a multiple of 3 then the first two elements of the code are to be interchanged.
Condition 2:
If the product of the first and last element in the code is a multiple of 5 then the code will be written in the reversed order.
Condition 3:
If there are more than two symbols in the code then the code will be written in the reversed order except for first and the last element.
