SSC CGL - 18 July 2023 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q80

In a certain code language, 'ROSE' is coded as '228' and 'TULIP' is coded as '390'. How will 'LOTUS' be coded in that language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 435.

 

'ROSE':- (18 + 15 + 19 + 5 ) x 4 (Number of Letters) = 57 x 4 = 228

'TULIP':- (20 + 21 + 12 + 9 + 16) x 5 (Number of Letters) = 78 x 5 = 390

Similarly, 'LOTUS':- (12 + 15 + 20 + 21 + 19 )x 5   = 87 x 5 = 435

Hence, the correct answer is 435.
