SSC CHSL - 10th July 2019 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q89

If EAST is coded as 180 and NORTH is coded as 375, then how will SOUTH be coded as?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 415.

Logic: (Number of letters) × (Sum of the numeric values of all the letters in the word)

EAST is coded as 180

4 × (5 + 1 + 19 + 20) = 4 × 45 = 180

NORTH is coded as 375

5 × (14 + 15 + 18 + 20 + 8) = 5 × 75 = 375

Similarly, for SOUTH:

= 5 × (19 + 15 + 21 + 20 + 8) = = 5 × 83 = 415

Hence, SOUTH will be coded as 415.
