SSC Stenographer 2022 PYQ — Question 188

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 38.

The logic used here is:

Positional value of opposite letters (consonants only) + 12

'DAM’ is coded as '50'

D ⇔ W (23), A = 1, M ⇔ N (14) 

23 + 1 + 14 + 12 = 50 

'PAD' is coded as '47'. 

P ⇔ K (11), A = 1, D ⇔ W (23) 

11 + 1 + 23 + 12 = 47

Similarly;

Code for the word MAP:

M ⇔ N (14) + A = 1, P ⇔ K (11) 

14 + 1 + 11 + 12 = 38

Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
