SSC CGL - 21 April 2022 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q79

In a certain code language, 'GANGA' is coded as 21-3-42-21-3 and 'KOSHI' is coded as 33- 45-57-24-27. How will 'GOMTI' be coded in that language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 21-45-39-60-27.

The logic used here is:

'GANGA' is coded as 21-3-42-21-3

G = 7 × 3 = 21

A = 1 × 3 = 3

N = 14 × 3 = 42

G = 7 × 3 = 21

A = 1 × 3 = 3

Similarly;

Code for the word GOMTI:

G = 7 × 3 = 21

O = 15 × 3 = 45

M = 13 × 3 = 39

T = 20 × 3 = 60

I = 9 × 3 = 27

Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
