SSC CGL - 9th March 2020 Shift 3 • Reasoning • Q79

In a certain code language, ‘FOX’ is coded as ‘108’ and ‘SOUP’ is coded as ‘148’. How will ‘UPSIDE’ be coded as in that language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e 528.

Understanding Application

The letters are replaced with their opposite letters in English Alphabetical Series, and then the sum of all the values is multiplied by the number of letters in each word.

FOX : ULC (Opposite letters)

ULC: 21 + 12 + 3 = 36; 36  x 3 = 108

SOUP : HLFK

HLFK : 8 + 12 + 6 + 11 = 36; 37 x 4 = 148

 

Similarly,

UPSIDE : FKHRWV 

Sum = 6 + 11 + 8 + 18 + 23 + 22

= 88

Now multiply 6 with 88 = 528.
