SSC Selection Post 2019 PYQ — Question 94

SSC Selection Post - Higher Secondary Level - 16 Oct 2019 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q94

In a code language, if 'TRANSIT' is coded as '202', then how will 'ROUTINE' be coded in the same language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 204.

Logic: The sum of the positional value of letters is multiplied by 2

'TRANSIT' is coded as '202' → (20 + 18 + 1 + 14 + 19 + 9 + 20) × 2 = 202

Similarly, 'ROUTINE' is coded as 204 → (18 + 15 + 21 + 20 + 9 + 14 + 5) × 2 = 204
