Total Questions: 17

11. In a certain code language, BOOTLACE is coded as 49960372 and CAPELIN is coded as 7382015. How will TAPIOCA be coded in that language? [S.S.C CHSL 05/08/2021 (Afternoon)]

Correct Answer: (b) 6381973
Solution:The logic followed here is :

BOOTLACE is coded as 49960372

CAPELIN is coded as 7382015

Similarly,

TAPIOCA is coded as

Hence, 6381973 is the correct answer.

12. In a code language, if LOCK is written as 1212311 and KEY is written as 112225, then how will DEAR be written in the same language? [S.S.C CHSL 05/08/2021 (Evening)]

Correct Answer: (b) 4222618
Solution:The pattern followed here is :
  • Constants coded as its alphabet place value numerical.
  • Vowels coded as opposite alphabet place value numerical.

LOCK is written as 1212311

KEY is written as 112225

Similarly,

DEAR is coded as

Hence, 4222618 is correct answer.

13. In a certain code language, 'FOSTER' is coded as '61219202218 and CARGO is coded as 32618712. How will MARRIAGE be coded in that language? [S.S.C CHSL 06/08/2021 (Evening)]

Correct Answer: (b) 132618181826722
Solution:The pattern followed here is :
  • Constants coded as its alphabet place value numerical,
  • Vowels is coded as opposite alphabet place value numerical.

"FOSTER" is coded as 61219202218

"CARGO" is coded as "32618712"

Similarly,

Hence, "MARRIAGE" is coded as 132618181826722

14. In a certain code language, CHECK is written as 6165622 and SURGE is written as 382136145. How will PRIEST be written as in that language? [S.S.C CHSL 09/08/2021 (Afternoon)]

Correct Answer: (b) 3236953840
Solution:The pattern followed here is :
  • Constants place value × 2 = number
  • Vowels place value coded as a number.

CHECK → C(3) × 2 = 6, H(8) × 2 = 16, E(5) = 5, C(3) × 2 = 6, K(11) × 2 = 22

So the code for CHECK is 6165622

SURGE → S(19) × 2 = 38, U(21) = 21, R(18) × 2 = 36, G(7) × 2 =14, E(5) = 5

So the code for SURGE is 382136145

PRIEST → P(16) × 2 = 32, R(18) × 2 = 36, I(9) = 9, E(5) = 5, S(19) × 2 = 38, T(20) × 2 = 40

So the code for PRIEST is 3236953840

15. In a certain code language, SOAP is written as 55 and FRY is written as 52. How will CLAN be written in that language? [S.S.C CHSL 09/08/2021 (Afternoon)]

Correct Answer: (a) 34
Solution:(Sum of the place value of the letter in the word) + (number of letters in the given word)
SOAP = (19 + 15 + 1 + 16) + 4 = 55
FRY = (6 + 18 + 25) + 3 = 52
Similarly,

CLAN = (3 + 12 + 1 + 14) + 4 = 34

Hence, 34 is the correct answer.

16. In a certain code language, VIRTUE is written as XCBYAN. How will MODEST be written in that language? [S.S.C CHSL 09/08/2021 (Evening)]

Correct Answer: (d) JISNYY
Solution:The logic followed here is :

Similarly,

MODEST = ?

Hence, JISNYY is the correct answer.

17. If in a code language, DISK is coded as 65 and WIRE is coded as 53, then how will you code CELL? [S.S.C CHSL 09/08/2021 (Evening)]

Correct Answer: (c) 76
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

Sum of opposite positional value

DISK → 23 + 18 + 8 + 16 = 65

WIRE → 4 + 18 + 9 + 22 = 53

Similarly,

CELL → 24 + 22 + 15 + 15 = 76

Hence, 76 is the correct answer.
