SSC MTS 26th October 2021 Shift-2

- In the code language:

- BREAK is coded as 42.

- PEAR is coded as 44.

- To find the pattern:

- Assign each letter its position in the alphabet: B=2, R=18, E=5, A=1, K=11.

- For BREAK: 2 + 18 + 5 + 1 + 11 = 37. The difference to reach 42 is 5.

- Similarly, for PEAR (P=16, E=5, A=1, R=18): 16 + 5 + 1 + 18 = 40. Difference to reach 44 is 4.

- The pattern suggests the encoded number adds a constant (5 or 4).

- For LEADER (L=12, E=5, A=1, D=4, E=5, R=18):

- Sum = 12 + 5 + 1 + 4 + 5 + 18 = 45.

- Adding 6 to match pattern, code = 51.

- Therefore, LEADER is coded as 51.

Option 2: 51 is correct.
