SSC CGL - 20 April 2022 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q92

In a certain code language, ‘MOST’ is written as ‘134’, and ‘FUR’ is written as ‘90’. How will ‘SUCCESS’ be written in that language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 178.

The logic used here is:

‘MOST’ is written as ‘134’, and ‘FUR’ is written as ‘90’

MOST = 13 + 15 + 19 + 20 = 67 × 2 = 134

FUR = 6 + 21 + 18 = 45 × 2 = 90

Similarly;

Code for the word SUCCESS:

SUCCESS = 19 + 21 + 3 + 3 + 5 + 19 + 19 = 89 × 2 = 178

Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.
