SSC Stenographer 2025 PYQ — Question 85

Given:

READ = 79
DEAR = 79

Just as:

Both words use the same letters: R, E, A, D

So the code depends only on the sum of letter values, not order.

Now DARE also has the same letters: D, A, R, E

So its value will be the same.

DARE = 79

Hence the correct answer is option 4.
