SSC MTS 2026 PYQ — Question 38

SSC MTS - 10 Feb 2026 - Shift 3 • Reasoning • Q38

In a certain code language, 'SING' is coded as '57' and 'FAIR' is coded as '72'. How will 'PARTY' be coded in that code language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Just as,

For 'SING':

Reverse values ​​of the letters:

S → 8 (H)

I → 18 (R)

N → 13 (M)

G → 20 (T)

Sum: 8 + 18 + 13 + 20 = 59

Code: 59 - 2 = 57

And,

For 'FAIR':

Reverse values ​​of the letters:

F → 21 (U)

A → 26 (Z)

I → 18 (R)

R → 9 (I)

Sum: 21 + 26 + 18 + 9 = 74

Code: 74 - 2 = 72

Similarly,

'PARTY' : ?

Now, applying this same logic to 'PARTY':

Reverse of P (K) = 11

Reverse of A (Z) = 26

Reverse of R (I) = 9

Reverse of T (G) = 7

Reverse of Y (B) = 2

Sum: 11 + 26 + 9 + 7 + 2 = 55

55 - 2 = 53

Correct Option: A) 53
