SSC Stenographer 2022 PYQ — Question 162

SSC Stenographer - 18 Nov 2022 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q162

In a certain code language, 'FUTURE' is coded as ‘91’, and ‘MONEY’ is coded as ‘72’. How will 'SECURE' be coded in that language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 71.

The logic used here is:

'FUTURE' is coded as ‘91’

FUTURE = 6 + 21 + 20 + 21 + 18 + 5 = 91

‘MONEY’ is coded as ‘72’

MONEY = 13 + 15 + 14 + 5 + 25 = 72

Similarly;

Code for the word SECURE:

SECURE = 19 + 5 + 3 + 21 + 18 + 5 = 71

Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.
