SSC Selection Post - Graduation Level 2020 - 10 Nov 2020 - Shift 3 • Reasoning • Q87

In a code language, if TARGET is written as 17 and SILK is written as 15, then how will FROST be written in the same  language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 87.

TARGET → T = 20, A = 1, R = 18, G = 7, E = 5, T = 20; (20 + 1 + 18 + 7 + 5 + 20) = 71(Reverse) = 17

SILK → S = 19, I = 9, L = 12, K = 11; (19 + 9 + 12 + 11) = 51(Reverse) = 15

Similarly, FROST → F = 6, R = 18, O = 15, S = 19, T = 20; (6 + 18 + 15 + 19 + 20) = 78(Reverse) = 87
