PYST : General Awareness - SSC Stenographer 2024 (Tier-I) (10-Dec-2024) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is

83

Let's analyze the given code language:

  • FIRE is coded as 38. The sum of the alphabetical positions of the letters in FIRE (6 + 9 + 18 + 5 = 38) equals the code.
  • WATER is coded as 67. Similarly, the sum of the alphabetical positions of the letters in WATER (23 + 1 + 20 + 5 + 18 = 67) equals the code.

Therefore, the code is generated by summing the alphabetical positions of each letter in the word.

Now, let's find the code for FOREST:

  • F (6) + O (15) + R (18) + E (5) + S (19) + T (20) = 83

Thus, FOREST will be coded as 83.
