SSC CGL - 18 Aug 2021 - Shift 3 • Reasoning • Q99

In a certain code language, ‘NOSTALGIA’ is coded as ‘81’. How will ‘FRICTION’ be coded in that language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 64.

The logic used here is:

(Number of letters in the word)2 = Code

‘NOSTALGIA’ is coded as ‘81’

Number of letters in the word NOSTALGIA = 92 = 81

Similarly,

Code for the word FRICTION:

Number of letters in the word FRICTION = 82 = 64

Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.
