SSC CGL - 02 Dec 2022 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q99

In a certain code language, 'GOLF’ is coded as '44', and 'BALL' is coded as '31'. How will 'PLAY' be coded in that language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 58.

The logic followed here is positional value of letters is added to number of letters in the word.

GOLF = 7 + 15 + 12 + 6 = 40 + 4 = 44

Similarly; PLAY = 16 + 12 + 1 + 25 = 54 + 4 = 58
