SSC CHSL - 12th October 2020 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q89

In a certain code language, NIB is coded as 112, and COB is coded as 122. How will JET be coded as in that language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e 92

Understanding

The reverse positional values of each letter are added, and the sum is multiplied by 2 to get the code.

A B C D E F G H I J K L M
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
Z Y X W V U T S R Q P O N
26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14

 

NIB: (13 + 18 + 25) x 2 = 56 x 2 = 112

COB: (24 + 12 + 25) x 2 = 61 x 2 = 122

Similarly for JET,

JET: (17 + 22 + 7) x 2= 46 x 2 = 92
