If MAP is coded as 13116, what is the code for LAP?

This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2025 Tier 1 Question Paper (25-Sep-2025) (Shift 3)
The correct answer is
12116

Decoding LAP Code Using Alphabetical Positions

This problem involves a simple substitution cipher where each letter is replaced by its corresponding position in the alphabet.

Analyzing the Code for MAP

  • Find the alphabetical position for each letter in MAP:
    • M is the 13th letter.
    • A is the 1st letter.
    • P is the 16th letter.
  • Combine these numbers sequentially: 13, 1, 16.
  • This forms the code 13116, matching the given code for MAP.

Calculating the Code for LAP

Apply the same logic to the word LAP:

  • Find the alphabetical position for each letter in LAP:
    • L is the 12th letter.
    • A is the 1st letter.
    • P is the 16th letter.
  • Combine these numbers sequentially: 12, 1, 16.
  • This forms the code 12116 for LAP.

Therefore, the code for LAP is 12116.
