SSC CHSL 2019 PYQ — Question 79

SSC CHSL - 3rd July 2019 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q79

In a code language, LOGITECH is written as CFCEBAYD. How will INFORMATION be written as in that language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. EEBFIDWBEFE

Understanding Application

The alphabets from A to Z takes numerical position value from 1 to 26.

For alphabets having two digit positional value: Digits are added and the resulting number is the positional value of the code letter.

For alphabets having single digit positional value: 4 is subtracted from it to get the positional value of the code letter.

LOGITECH is written as CFCEBAYD: 

L (12): 1 + 2 = 3 = C

O (15): 1 + 5 = 6 = F

G (7): 7 – 4 = 3 = C

I (9): 9 – 4 = 5 = E

T (20): 2 + 0 = 2 = B

E (5): 5 – 4 = 1 = A

C (3): 29 – 4 = 25 = Y

H (8): 8 – 4 = 4 = D

Code for INFORMATION:

I (9): 9 – 4 = 5 = E

N (14): 1 + 4 = 5 = E

F (6): 6 – 4 = 2 = B

O (15): 1 + 5 = 6 = F

R (18): 1 + 8 = 9 = I

M (13): 1 + 3 = 4 = D

A (1): 27 – 4 = 23 = W

T (20): 2 + 0 = 2 = B

I (9): 9 – 4 = 5 = E

O (15): 1 + 5 = 6 = F

N (14): 1 + 4 = 5 = E
