SSC CPO Tier I - 13th December 2019 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q156

In a certain code language, SCIENCE is written as 21-5-11-7-16-5-7. How will MUSEUM be written in that code language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e.15-23-21-7-23-15.

 

From the above alphabet position, we see that

S C I E N C E
19 3 9 5 14 3 5

 

Here, the pattern is followed that 2 is added to each alphabet position.

(19+2) (3+2) (9+2) (5+2) (14+2) (3+2) (5+2)

21-5-11-7-16-5-7

In the same way, MUSEUM is written as 15-23-21-7-23-15

Hence, the correct answer is 15-23-21-7-23-15.
