SSC CPO 2024 - 27th June 2024 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q196

In a code language, 'DINESH' is coded as 12-27-42-15-57-24 and 'VIRAT' is coded as 66-27-54-3-60. How will 'GAUTAM' be coded in the same language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 21-3-63-60-3-39.

Logic: Positional value of alphabets multiplied by 3.

'DINESH' is coded as 12-27-42-15-57-24

D × 3 = 12, I × 3 = 27, N × 3 = 42, E × 3 = 15, S × 3 = 57, H × 3 = 24

'VIRAT' is coded as 66-27-54-3-60

V × 3 = 66, I × 3 = 27, R × 3 = 54, A × 3 = 3, T × 3 = 60

Similarly, 'GAUTAM' is coded as 21-3-63-60-3-39

G × 3 = 21, A × 3 = 3, U × 3 = 63, T × 3 = 60, A × 3 = 3, M × 3 = 39
