SSC CGL 2025 Tier 1 Question Paper (25-Sep-2025) (Shift 3)
The correct answer is

24, 26, 7

This is a reverse-alphabet code: each letter's value is its position counted from Z, so value = 27 − (position from A). Equivalently, A=26, B=25, …, Z=1.

C is the 3rd letter, so its code = 27 − 3 = 24.

A is the 1st letter, so its code = 27 − 1 = 26.

T is the 20th letter, so its code = 27 − 20 = 7.

Hence, CAT is coded as 24, 26, 7.
