If REASON is coded as 5 and BELIEVED as 7, what is the code number for GOVERNMENT ?

Options

A. 6
B. 8
C. 9
D. 10

Answer

C

Explanation

The pattern of coding is as follows:
Code = Number of letters in the word - 1
i.e., REASON = 6 letters, code= 6-1=5.
BELIEVED = 7 letters , code = 7-1=6.
So, GOVERNMENT = 10 letters
Therefore , Code = 10-1 = 9 .
