SSC CGL 2023 (Tier-II) Paper 1 Previous Year Paper (26-Oct-2023) (Shift-1)
The correct answer is

57

Based on the given code language, we deduce that the code is based on the sum of the alphabetical positions of the letters in each word. For example:

In 'MARS': M (13), A (1), R (18), S (19) → 13 + 1 + 18 + 19 = 51 (which matches the code for MARS).

Similarly, for 'MOON': M (13), O (15), O (15), N (14) → 13 + 15 + 15 + 14 = 57.

Therefore, 'MOON' is coded as 57, which is option 4.
