SSC Selection Post 2019 PYQ — Question 86

SSC Selection Post - Matriculation Level 2019 - 14 Oct 2019 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q86

In a code language, if 'FOR' is coded as '78' then how will 'TUB' be coded in the same language?

 

 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2, i.e., 86.

Logic: (Add the place value of all letters) × 2

'FOR' is coded as '78' 

F ⇔ 6, O ⇔ 15, R ⇔ 18

6 + 15 + 18 = 39 × 2 = 78

Similarly, 'TUB' is coded as '86'

T ⇔ 20, U ⇔ 21, B ⇔ 2

20 + 21 + 2 = 43  × 2 = 86
