SSC CGL 2021 PYQ — Question 78

SSC CGL - 16 Aug 2021 - Shift 3 • Reasoning • Q78

In a certain code language, ‘AND’ is written as ‘C-LP-F’ and ‘NOR’ is coded as ‘P-MQ-T’. How will ‘BUT’ be written in that language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. D-SW-V.

Coding for AND:

A(1) + 2 = C(3)

N(14) - 2 = L(12) and N(14) + 2 = P(16)

D(4) + 2 = F(6)

C-LP-F

Coding for NOR:

N(14) + 2 = P(16)

O(15) - 2 = M(13) and O(15) + 2 = Q(17)

R(18) + 2 = T(20)

P-MQ-T

Similarly, BUT will be coded as:

B(2) + 2 = D(4)

U(21) - 2 = S(19) and U(21) + 2 = W(23)

T(20) + 2 = V(22)

D-SW-V which is the correct answer.
