SSC Stenographer - 18 Nov 2022 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q158

In a code language, 'AMIT' is coded as 86, and 'VIJAY' is coded as 134. How will 'GARIMA' be coded in the same language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 98.

The logic used here is:

'AMIT' is coded as 86

AMIT = 1 + 13 + 9 + 20 = 43

AMIT = 43 × 2 = 86

'VIJAY' is coded as 134

VIJAY = 22 + 9 + 10 + 1 + 25 = 67

VIJAY = 67 × 2 = 134

Similarly;

Code for the word GARIMA:

GARIMA= 7 + 1 + 18 + 9 + 13 + 1 = 49

GARIMA = 49 × 2 = 98

Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
