SSC CPO 2022 PYQ — Question 182

SSC CPO - 10 Nov 2022 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q182

In a certain code language, 'SO' is written as ‘34’ and 'BED' is written as ‘11’. How will ‘MOAN' be written in that language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 43

The logic used here is:

Consider the position of the letters of the English Alphabet.

'SO' is written as ‘34’: S(19) + O(15) = 34

'BED' is written as ‘11’: B(2) + E(5) + D(4) = 11

So, ‘MOAN' will be written as-

M(13) + O(15) + A(1) + N(14) = 43

Hence, 43 is the correct answer.
