SSC CGL - 16 Sep 2025 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q85

In each of the following questions, a word is transformed into a combination of letters and numbers following a specific pattern. Analyze the transformation used in the first pair and apply the same rule to find the missing term in the second pair.

BOAT : C40U :: JUMP : ?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. K58Q.

Logic: 1st and last letter + 1, Sum of place value of middle letters + 24

BOAT : C40U → B + 1 = C, T + 1 = U

O + A = 15 + 1 = 16 + 24 = 40

Similarly, JUMP : ? → J + 1 = K, P + 1 = Q

U + M = 21 + 13 = 34 + 24 = 58
