SSC CGL - 6th March 2020 Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q94

In a certain code language, BREATHER is coded as 29512859. How will AVIATION be coded as in that language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e 14912965.

Understanding Application

Given:

BREATHER is coded as 29512859

The logic used here is:

B = 2

R = 18 = 1 + 8 = 9

E = 5

A = 1

T = 20 = 2 + 0 = 2

H = 8

E = 5

R = 18 = 1 + 8 = 9

Similarly,

Code for the word AVIATION:

A = 1

V = 22 = 2 + 2 = 4

I = 9

A = 1

T= 20 = 2 + 0 = 2

I = 9

O = 15 = 1 + 5 = 6

N = 14 = 1 + 4 = 5

Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.
