SSC Selection Post - Matriculation Level - 24 June 2024 - Shift 4 • Reasoning • Q94

In a certain code language, 'GOLIATH' is coded as '216' and 'DYNAMIC' is coded as '207'. How will 'CURRANT' be coded in that language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1, i.e., 285.

Logic: position values of its letters, and then multiplying by 6

'GOLIATH' is coded as '216'

G(7) + O(15) + L(12) + I(9) + A(1) + T(20) + H(8) = 72

 72 ×\times 3 = 216

'DYNAMIC' is coded as '207'

 D(4) + Y(25) + N(14) + A(1) + M(13) + I(9) + C(3) = 69

69 ×\times 3 = 207.

Similarly,  'CURRANT' is coded as 285

C(3) + U(21) + R(18) + R(18) + A(1) + N(14) + T(20) = 95

95 ×\times 3 = 285
