SSC CGL 2022 PYQ — Question 97

SSC CGL - 13 April 2022 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q97

In a certain code language, LOOK is coded as 2330, and BALL is coded as 1413. How will HELP be coded in that language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 2417.

The logic used here is:

LOOK is coded as 2330

L = 13

O = 15

O = 15

K = 12

L + K = 11 + 12 = 23

O + O = 15 + 15 = 30

Similarly;

Code for the word HELP:

H = 8

E = 5

L = 12

P = 16

H + P = 8 + 16 = 24

E + L = 5 + 12 = 17

Code for HELP = 2417

Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
