Pass Codes Batch I: from sea the out taken were icons these Batch II: from icons these were taken out the sea Batch III: from icons out sea the taken were these Batch IV: from icons out sea these were taken the The pattern followed is as under: In the first step, the word which comes first in the dictionary is placed at the first place and the remaining words are written in a reverse order. In the second step, the word which comes second in the dictionary is placed at the second place and all words except the first and the second are written in a reverse order. The process continues in the same manner to give the pass codes for the subsequent batches.
