SSC Selection Post 2022 PYQ — Question 78

SSC Selection Post - Matriculation Level 2022 - 7 Feb 2022 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q78

In a certain code language, HAIR is coded as 108, and NOSE is coded as 159. How will SKIN be coded in that language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e., 159.

Logic: Add the place value of letters and then thrice the sum

HAIR → 8 + 1 + 9 + 18 = 36 × 3 = 108

NOSE → 14 + 15 + 19 + 5 = 53 × 3 = 159

Similarly,

SKIN → 19 + 11 + 9 + 14 = 53 × 3 = 159
