SSC Selection Post 2020 PYQ — Question 90

SSC Selection Post - Higher Secondary Level 2020 - 10 Nov 2020 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q90

If MEGASTAR is coded as 76 and ENTER is coded as 57, then how will CAPSLOCK be coded as?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 72.

Logic: the sum of the positional value of letters - the number of letters

MEGASTAR is coded as 76 → (13 + 5 + 7 + 1 + 19 + 20 + 1 + 18) - 8 = 76

ENTER is coded as 57 → (5 + 14 + 20 + 5 + 18) - 5 = 57

Similarly, CAPSLOCK is coded as 72 → (3 + 1 + 16 + 19 + 12 + 15 + 3 + 11) - 8 = 72
