SSC CHSL 2023 PYQ — Question 89

SSC CHSL - 09 Aug 2023 - Shift 4 • Reasoning • Q89

 In a certain code language, 'REPLACE' is coded as '67' and 'PETRIFY' is coded as '106'. How will 'CRACKED' be coded in that language?
 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 52.

Logic: Sum of the place value of letters + Number of letters in the word

'REPLACE' is coded as '67' → 18 + 5 + 16 + 12 + 1 + 3 + 5 = 60 + 7 = 67

'PETRIFY' is coded as '106' → 16 + 5 + 20 + 18 + 9 + 6 + 25 = 99 + 7 = 106

Similarly, 'CRACKED' will be coded → 3 + 18 + 1 + 3 + 11 + 5 + 4 = 45 + 7 = 52
