Explanation:

Alphabets and their positions

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
1234567891011121314151617181920212223242526

256 is square of 16. 16 means 1 and 6. 1=Position of A ; 6 = Position of F. So we get 256AF

20. If NITIN is coded as %%^## and TEEN is coded as &^#& , then TIP is coded as

a. #%^
b. @^%
c. #^&
d. ^#$

Answer: b. @^%

NITIN = %%^##
So, N and I are % or #.
TEEN = &^#&

So, T = ^ ; Therefore, N=# ; So, I=%
P is new letter so it must have new symbol.
