SSC GD 2023 PYQ — Question 61

SSC GD Constable (English) - 30 Jan 2023 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q61

In a certain code language, ‘TEA’ is coded as 26, and ‘DANCE’ is coded as 27. How will ‘CROWN’ be coded in that language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 73.

The logic used here is:

‘TEA’ is coded as 26

TEA = 20 + 5 + 1 = 26

‘DANCE’ is coded as 27

DANCE = 4 + 1 + 14 + 3 + 5 = 27

Similarly;

Code for the word CROWN:

CROWN = 3 + 18 + 15 + 23 + 14 = 73

Hence, 73 is the correct answer.
