SSC CHSL - 10 Aug 2023 - Shift 3 • Reasoning • Q88

In a certain code language, 'LED' is coded as '1587' and 'BAN' is coded as '5417'. What is the code for 'HIT' in the given code language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 111223.

Logic: Add 3 to the positional value of letters

LED is coded as 1587 ⇒ L → 12 + 3 = 15; E → 5 + 3 = 8; D → 4 + 3 = 7

BAN is coded as 5417 ⇒ B → 2 + 3 = 5; A → 1 + 3 = 4; N → 14 + 3 = 17

Similarly, the code for HIT ⇒ H → 8 + 3 = 11; I → 9 + 3 = 12; T → 20 + 3 = 23
