SSC CHSL - 13th October 2020 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q87

In a certain code language, ‘REQUIRE’ is coded as ‘100’. How will ‘ARRANGE’ be coded as in that language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e 71

Understanding Application

REQUIRE = 100

The positional value of each alphabet of the word is added and then 7 is added to the summation.

Sum of positional value of each alphabet of word REQUIRE = 18 + 5 + 17 + 21 + 9 + 18 + 5 = 93

Final sum = 93 + 7 = 100 

Similarly, Sum of positional value of each alphabet of word ARRANGE = 1 + 18 + 18 + 1 + 14 + 7 + 5 = 64

Final sum = 64 + 7 = 71
