First row - 4, 6, 13

Second row - 9, 8, 21

Third row - 5, 6, ?

(

NOTE:

Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits. Eg. 13 – Operations on 13 such as adding /deleting /multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed)

14
BOption (b)
13
COption (c)
12
DOption (d)
16

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is:

Logic: 1^st number + 2^nd number + (2^nd number ÷ 2) = 3^rd number.

Now,

First row - 4, 6, 13

→ 4 + 6 + (6 ÷ 2)

→ 4 + 6 + 3 = 13.

Second row - 9, 8, 21

→ 9 + 8 + (8 ÷ 2)

→ 9 + 8 + 4 = 21.

Similarly, for Third row - 5, 6, ?

→ 5 + 6 + (6 ÷ 2)

→ 5 + 6 + 3 = 14.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Question 1243

SSC Stenographer 2022• General Intelligence & Reasoning

In a code language, 'AMIT' is coded as 86 and 'VIJAY' is coded as 134. How will 'GARIMA' be coded in the same language?

AOption (a)
98
BOption (b)
49
COption (c)
78
DOption (d)
67

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is:

Logic: (Sum of the place value of all numbers) × 2 = Code of the word.

'AMIT' is coded as 86'

⇒ (1 + 13 + 9 + 20) × 2

⇒ 43 × 2 = 86.

'VIJAY' is coded as 134'

⇒ (22 + 9 + 10 + 1 + 25) × 2

⇒ 67 × 2 = 134.

Similarly, for 'GARIMA'

⇒ (7 + 1 + 18 + 9 + 13 + 1) × 2

⇒ 49 × 2 = 98.

So, 'GARIMA' will be coded as '98'.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

'SHEEP’ is written as ‘82'

→ Opposite of SHEEP ⇒ HSVVK

⇒ 8 + 19 + 22 + 22 + 11 = 82.

Similarly, for 'PIG'

→ Opposite of PIG ⇒ KRT

⇒ 11 + 18 + 20 = 49.

So, 'PIG' will be written as '49'.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

(

NOTE:

Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits. E.g. 13- Operations on 13 such as adding/subtracting/multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.)

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

(17, 68, 119)

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is:

Logic: (1^st number + 3^rd number) ÷ 2 = 2^nd number.

Now,

For (13, 52, 91)

→ (13 + 91) ÷ 2

→ 104 ÷ 2 = 52.

For (19, 76, 133)

→ (19 + 133) ÷ 2

→ 152 ÷ 2 = 76.

Similarly, for (17, 68, 119)

→ (17 + 119) ÷ 2

→ 136 ÷ 2 = 68.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".
