SSC CHSL - 14th October 2020 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q79

If in a certain code language, SITUATION is written as 133 and RIGHT is written as 67, then how will CONSTITUTION be written as in that language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e 184

Understanding Application

Sum of the positional values of all the letters of the word is added to 5 to get the code of the word

SITUATION →

19 + 9 + 20 + 21 + 1 + 20 + 9 + 15 + 14 = 128

Now, add +5 to 128 = 133

Thus, the code for the word CONSTITUTION will be:

CONSTITUTION → 3 + 15 + 14 + 19 + 20 + 9 + 20 + 21 + 20 + 9 + 15 + 14 = 179

179 + 5 = 184

Hence, the correct answer is 184
