SSC Selection Post 2019 PYQ — Question 80

SSC Selection Post - Higher Secondary Level - 16 Oct 2019 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q80

In a code language, if 'PROFITABLE' is coded as '10', 'RESEARCH' is coded as '8', then how will 'DEVELOPMENT' be coded in the same language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 11.

Logic: number of letters in a word

'PROFITABLE' is coded as '10' → Number of letters is 10

'RESEARCH' is coded as '8' → Number of letters is 8

Similarly, 'DEVELOPMENT' is coded as 11 → Number of letters is 11
