SSC CGL - 18 Aug 2021 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q87

In a certain code language, ‘FORENSIC’ is coded as ‘61218221419183’, and ‘DORM’ is coded as ‘4121813’.How will ‘CARAMEL’ be coded in that language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 3261826132212.

Understanding

The logic used here is:

Consonants are replaced by their respective positional values, and the vowels are replaced with opposite positional values.

'FORENSIC’ is coded as ‘61218221419183’

F = 6

Opposite of O = L = 12

R = 18

Opposite of E = V = 22

N = 14

S = 19

Opposite of I = R = 18

C = 3

FORENSIC = 61218221419183

Similarly,

Code for the word CARAMEL:

C = 3

Opposite of A = Z = 26

R = 18

Opposite of A = Z =26

M = 13

Opposite of E = V = 22

L = 12

CARAMEL = 3261826132212

Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
