SSC Selection Post - Graduation Level - 03 Aug 2022 - Shift 3 • Reasoning • Q93

In a certain code language, 'COURT' is coded as ‘5-77’, 'CASE’ is coded as '4-28’. How will 'LAWYER' be coded in that language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 6-84.

Logic: Number of letters - Sum of the place value of letters

'COURT' is coded as ‘5-77’

Number of letters = 5; COURT → 3 + 15 + 21 + 18 + 20 = 77

'CASE’ is coded as '4-28’

Number of letters = 4; CASE → 3 + 1 + 19 + 5 = 28

Similarly, 'LAWYER' will be coded as:

Number of letters = 6; LAWYER → 12 + 1 + 23 + 25 + 5 + 18 = 84
