SSC GD Constable (English) - 27 Jan 2023 - Shift 4 • Reasoning • Q67

In a certain code language, if CAB is coded as 75, and DIP is coded as 52. How will FLY be coded in that language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 38.

The logic used here is:

CAB is coded as 75

Opposite of C = X = 24

Opposite of A = Z = 26

Opposite of B = Y = 25

CAB = 24 + 26 + 25 = 75

DIP is coded as 52

Opposite of D = W = 23

Opposite of I = R = 18

Opposite of P = K = 11

DIP = 23 + 18 + 11 = 52

Similarly;

Code for the word FLY:

Opposite of F = U = 21

Opposite of L = O = 15

Opposite of Y = B = 2

FLY = 21 + 15 + 2 = 38

Hence, 38 is the correct answer.
