SSC CGL - 11 April 2022 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q81

In a certain code language, 'RAKHI' is coded as 36-2-22-16-18, and 'SHALU' is coded as 38-16-2-24-42. How will 'MANJU' be coded in that language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 26-2-28-20-42

The logic used here is:

'RAKHI' is coded as 36-2-22-16-18 and 'SHALU' is coded as 38- 6-2-24-42

R = 18 = 18 × 2 = 36

A = 1 = 1 × 2 = 2

K = 11 = 11 × 2 = 22

H = 8 = 8 × 2 = 16

I = 9 = 9 × 2 = 18

Similarly;

Code for the word MANJU:

M = 13 = 13 × 2 = 26

A = 1 = 1 × 2 = 2

N = 14 = 14 × 2 = 28

J = 10 = 10 × 2 = 20

U = 21 = 21 × 2 = 42

Hence, Option 2 is the correct answer.
