Reasoning Quiz For SSC CGL 2016

1. In a certain code, COMPATIBLE is written as BQNPDDKAHS. How is STABILISED written in that code?

TUBCJCDRHK

JCBUTEDTHM

JCBUTCDRHK

JCBUTEFTJM

Solution:

The letters in the first half and second half of the word are written in the reverse order and in the first group of letters so obtained, each letter in the first half is moved one step forward while that in the second half is moved one step backward, to get the code.

2. In a certain code language, BOARD is written as EQBNC. How will the word CLIMB be written in that language?

CLJKD

DKJLF

DNHMB

FNJRO

Solution:

The letters of the word are written in a reverse order and in the group of letters so obtained, the first, third and fifth letters are each moved one step forward while the second and fourth letters are each moved one step backward to get the code.

Q3. In a certain code, CLOUD is written as GTRKF. How is SIGHT written in that code?

UGHHT

UHJFW

WFJGV

WGJHV

Solution:

The letters of the word are written in the reverse order and in the group of letters so obtained, the first, third and fifth letters are each moved three steps forward while the second and fourth letters are each moved one step backward to get the code.

4. In a certain code language, OMNIPRESENT is written as QJONPTSMDRD. How is CREDIBILITY written in that code?

DSFEJDDXSHKH

JEFSDCXSHKH

JEFSDDXSHKH

JEFSDDZUJMJ

Solution:

Keeping the middle letter as it is, the first five and the last five letters of the word are written in the reverse order. In the group of letters so obtained, the first five letters are each moved one step forward, the middle letter is moved two steps forward and the last five letters are each moved one step backward to get the code. Thus, we have:
CREDI/B/ILITY → IDERC/B/YTILI → JEFSD/D/XSHKH

5. In a code language, DISTANCE is written as IDTUBECN and DOCUMENT is written as ODDVNTNE. How is THURSDAY written in that language?

DTVSTEYA

HTTQRYAD

HTVSTYDA

HTVSTYAD

Solution:

The first two and the last three of the word are written in the reverse order and each of the remaining letters is moved one step forward to get the code. Thus, we have:
TH/URS/DAY → HT/VST/YAD

BMPKFX

BMPKXF

BMPFKX

Solution:

4 is coded as B, 3 as M, 0 as P, 6 as K, 7 as, F, 5 as X
So, the code for 430675 is BMPKFX.

9. 790853

FJPEXM

FPJEXM

FJPEMX

FPJEMX

Solution:

7 is coded as F, 9 as J, 0 as P, 8 as E, 5 as X, 3 as M
So, the code for 790853 is FJPEXM.

11.In a certain code language ‘123’ means ‘bright little boy’, ‘145’ means ‘tall big boy’ and ‘637’ means ‘beautiful little flower’. Which digit in that language means ‘bright’?

1

2

3

4

Solution:

In the first and second statements, the common code digit is ‘1’ and the common word is ‘boy’. So, ‘1’ means ‘boy’.
In the first and third statements, the common code digit is ‘3’ and the common word is ‘little’.
So, ‘3’ means ‘little’.
Thus, in the first statement, ‘2’ means ‘bright’. Hence, the answer is (b).

12. In a certain code language ‘pen pencil’ is written as ‘$£’, ‘easer sharpener’ is written as ‘@#’ and ‘pencil eraser’ is written as ‘$@’. Then, what is the code for ‘pen’

#

$

@

£

Solution:

In the first and third statements, the common code symbol is ‘$’ and the common word is ‘pencil’.
So ‘$’ means ‘pencil’.
Thus, in the first statement ‘£’ means ‘pen’.

13. In a certain code language ‘123’ means ‘hot filtered coffee’.‘356’ means ‘very hot day’ and ‘589’ means ‘day and night’. Which digit stands for ‘very’?

9

5

8

6

Solution:

In the first and the second statements, the common code digit is ‘3’ and the common word is ‘hot’. So, ‘3’ means ‘hot’.
 In the second and third statements, the common code digit is ‘5’ and the common word is ‘day’. So, ‘5’ means ‘day’.
 Thus, in the second statement ‘6’ means ‘very’
