SSC Stenographer 2024 PYQ — Question 174

SSC Stenographer - 11/12/2024 (9:00 AM to 11:00 AM) • Reasoning • Q174

In a certain code language, 'OWL' is coded as 150 and 'CROW' is coded as 236. How will 'ROBIN' be coded in the same language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 290.

Logic: Sum of place value × number of letters

'OWL' is coded as 150 → (15 + 23 + 12) × 3 = 50 × 3 = 150

'CROW' is coded as 236 → (3 + 18 + 15 + 23) × 4 = 59 × 4 = 236

Similarly, 'ROBIN' will be coded → (18 + 15 + 2 + 9 + 14) × 5 = 58 × 5 = 290
