SSC Selection Post - Matriculation Level 2022 - 2 Aug 2022 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q85

In a certain code language, ‘PEOPLE’ is written as ‘5’ and ‘ACADEMIC’ is written as ‘7’. How will ‘PRESIDENT’ be written in that language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 8.

Logic: Number of letters in word - 1

‘PEOPLE’ is written as ‘5’ → 6 - 1 = 5

‘ACADEMIC’ is written as ‘7' → 8 - 1 = 7

Similarly, ‘PRESIDENT’ is written as 8 → 9 - 1 = 8
