SSC CHSL 2023 PYQ — Question 76

SSC CHSL - 11 Aug 2023 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q76

In a certain code language, 'EU324' is written as 'LN361' and 'HR529' is written as 'OK576' How will GS625 be written in the given language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. NL676.

Logic: For alphabets add 7 to the place value of the first letter and subtract 7 from the place value of the second letter of the word and for numbers, find the square root of the given number and then  add 1 to the resultant number, and then find the square to obtain the required alpha-numeric code –

 'EU324' is written as 'LN361'

E + 7 = L, U - 7 = N

√324 = 18; 18 + 1 = 19 → (19)2 = 361

'HR529' is written as 'OK576'

H + 7 = O, R - 7 = K

√529 = 23; 23 + 1 = 24 → (24)2 = 576

Similarly, GS625 is written as NL676

G + 7 = N, S - 7 = L

√625 = 25; 25 + 1 = 26 → (26)2 =676
