SSC CGL - 7 March 2020 Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q89

In a certain code language, ‘SOLID’ is coded as ‘64’ and ‘POUR’ IS coded as ‘74’. How will ‘TON’ be coded as in that language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e 52.

Understanding Application

The logic used here is:

‘SOLID’ is coded as ‘64’ and ‘POUR’ IS coded as ‘74’

SOLID =  19 + 15 + 12 + 9 + 4 + 5 = 64

POUR = 16 + 15 + 21 + 18 + 4 = 74

Similarly,

Code for the word TON:

TON = 20 + 15 + 14 + 3 = 52

Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.
