SSC Selection Post - Matriculation Level 2022 - 14 March 2022 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q88

In a certain code language, ‘SUN’ is coded as ‘384228’. How will ‘PRICE’ be coded in  that language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 323618610

Logic: Positional value of letters is multiplied by 2.

‘SUN’ is coded as ‘384228’

S(19) → 19 × 2 = 38, U(21) → 21 × 2 = 42, N(14) → 14 × 2 = 28 

Similarly, ‘PRICE’ is coded as 323618610

P(16) → 16 × 2 = 32, R(18) → 18 × 2 = 36, I(9) → 9 × 2 = 18, C(3) → 3 × 2 = 6, E(5) → 5 × 2 = 10
