SSC GD 2021 PYQ — Question 90

SSC GD Constable (English) - 26th November 2021 Shift 3 • Reasoning • Q90

In a certain code language, 'RAT' is coded as '39', and 'BEAR' is coded as '26'. How will 'SNAKE' be coded in that language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 50

The logic used here is:

'RAT' is coded as '39'

RAT = 18 + 1 + 20 = 39

'BEAR' is coded as '26'

BEAR = 2 + 5 + 1 + 18 = 26

Similarly,

Code for the word SNAKE:

SNAKE = 19 + 14 + 1 + 11 + 5 = 50

Hence, 50 is the correct answer.
