Last updated on Jun 13, 2025

Operations on place value is one of the significant topics of Logical Reasoning which comes in various competitive examinations. This topic is also known as code based on digits. It has been seen that at least two to three questions are always asked from this topic in most of the competitive examinations such as NICL(GIC) AO exam, MBA entrance exams, SSC, etc. Basically, In these types of questions, certain words are given with their codes and we have to identify the exact code to solve the other part of the question. In these types of questions, each word has a unique code. Initially, we have to find out the particular unique code of the word of the given questions. And then, arrange the word or words according to that code. At last, on the basis of that particular code, you have to solve the other part of the question which is asked for the answer. Below are the set of questions based on the topic for your practice,you can solve them in order to gain a strong hold upon this topic.

Latest Operations on Place Value MCQ Objective Questions

Operations on Place Value Question 1:

In a certain code language, ‘ENOUGH’ is written as ‘64’ and ‘PAIR’ is written as ‘40’.How will ‘FOCUS’ be written in that language?

  1. 52
  2. 60
  3. 59
  4. 63
  5. None of the above

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 3 : 59

Operations on Place Value Question 1 Detailed Solution

The positional values of the English alphabet is as follows:

The pattern followed here is: Sum of positional values of all the letters - Number of letters in the word

‘ENOUGH’ is written as ‘64’ 

⇒ E(5) + N(14) + O(15) + U(21) + G(7) + H(8) ⇒ 70 - 6 = 64

And,

‘PAIR’ is written as ‘40’

⇒ P(16) + A(1) + I(9) + R(18) ⇒ 44 - 4 = 40

Similarly, 

‘FOCUS’ will be written as:

⇒ F(6) + O(15) + C(3) + U(21) + S(19) ⇒ 64 - 5 = 59

Hence, 'option 3' is the correct answer.

Operations on Place Value Question 2:

In a certain code language, 'A' is written as '2', 'B' is written as '4'  and 'C' is written as '6'. Which word will be coded as '1210108' as in that code language?

  1. FEED
  2. DEER
  3. DEEP
  4. DOOR
  5. None of the above

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 1 : FEED

Operations on Place Value Question 2 Detailed Solution

The pattern follows here is:

Pattern: Place value of the letters × 2

A = 1; 1 × 2 = 2,

B = 2; 2 × 2 = 4,

C = 3; 3 × 2 = 6,

Similarly,

1210108 is the code of:

Letters F E E D
Place Value 6 5 5 4
× 2 × 2 = 12 × 2 = 10 × 2 = 10 × 2 = 8

 

Hence, "FEED" is the correct answer.

Similarly,

Operations on Place Value Question 3:

In a certain code language, ‘FRAME’ is written as ‘7’, ‘JUDGE’ is written as ‘11’. What is the code for ‘MAJOR’ in that code language?

  1. 16
  2. 10
  3. 12
  4. 8
  5. None of the above

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 3 : 12

Operations on Place Value Question 3 Detailed Solution

The logic followed here is:

The number is obtained by adding the digits of resultant number, obtained by adding the positional value of every letters.

  • ‘JUDGE’ is written as ‘11’

Similarly,

  • ‘MAJOR’ will be written as :

Thus, 'MAJOR' is written as '12'.

Hence, the correct answer is "12".

Operations on Place Value Question 4:

In a certain code language, 'APPLE' is coded as 250 and 'BERRY' is coded as 340. How will 'LITCHI' be coded in the same language?

  1. 330
  2. 306
  3. 305
  4. 350
  5. None of the above

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 3 : 305

Operations on Place Value Question 4 Detailed Solution

The logic followed here is:  sum of Place value of letters x 5

For APPLE is coded as 250

A + P + P + L + E = (1 + 16 + 16 + 12 + 5) x 5

50 x 5 = 250

For, BERRY is coded as 340

B + E + R +  R + Y = (2 + 5 + 18 + 18 + 25) x 5

68 x 5 = 340

Similarly for, LITCHI

L + I + T + C + H + I = (12 + 9 + 20 + 3 + 8 + 9) x 5

61 x 5 = 305

So, the code for LITCHI is '305'

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Operations on Place Value Question 5:

In a certain code language, 'BUZZY' is coded as '10' and 'KING' is coded as '8'. How will 'ABROAD' be coded in that language?

  1. 10
  2. 7
  3. 9
  4. 12
  5. None of the above

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 4 : 12

Operations on Place Value Question 5 Detailed Solution

The logic followed here is:

​'BUZZY' is coded as '10'

Number of letter in 'BUZZY' → 5 × 2 = 10

And,

'KING' is coded as '8'

Number of letter in 'KING' → 4 × 2 = 8

Similarly,

'ABROAD' is coded as

Number of letter in 'ABROAD' → 6 × 2 = 12

Hence, "Option 4" is the correct answer.

 If in a coding system, HOUSE is coded as 340 and FOETUS is coded as 516, then how will CONSENT be coded in the same coding system? 

  1. 455
  2. 630
  3. 360
  4. 542

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 2 : 630

Operations on Place Value Question 9 Detailed Solution

Download Solution PDF

The logic followed here is :-

Code = Sum of place value × Number of letter

HOUSE is coded as 340

Alphabets H O U S E
Positional values 8 15 21 19 5

 

Sum of place values = 8 + 15 + 21 + 19 + 5

Sum of place values = 68

Number of letters = 5

Code = 68 × 5 = 340

And

FOETUS is coded as 516

Alphabets F O E T U S
Positional values 6 15 5 20 21 19

 

Sum of place values = 6 + 15 + 5 + 20 + 21 + 19 

Sum of place values = 86

Number of letters = 6

Code = 86 × 6 = 516

Similarly,

CONSENT will be coded as :

Alphabets C O N S E N T
Positional values 3 15 14 19 5 14 20

 

Sum of place values = 3 + 15 + 14 + 19 + 5 + 14 + 20

Sum of place values = 90

Number of letters = 7

Code = 90 × 7 = 630

Thus, the correct answer is "630".

In a certain code language, 'ROUTE' is coded as '7', 'SHARE' is coded as '6'. What is the code for 'TABLE' in that code language?

  1. 5
  2. 4
  3. 7
  4. 2

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 2 : 4

Operations on Place Value Question 10 Detailed Solution

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Digit sum of the Sum of the place value of the given word.

Now,

‘ROUTE’ is coded as ‘7’

⇒ R(18) + O(15) + U(21) + T(20) + E(5)

⇒ 79 → 7 + 9 = 16

⇒ 16 → 1 + 6 = 7.

For, ‘SHARE’ is coded as ‘6’

⇒ S(19) + H(8) + A(1) + R(18) + E(5)

⇒ 51 → 5 + 1 = 6.

Similarly, for TABLE

T(20) + A(1) + B(2) + L(12) + E(5)

⇒ 40 → 4 + 0 = 4.

So, 'TABLE' will be coded as '4'.

Hence, the correct answer is "4".

In a certain code language, ‘ALPINE’ is coded as ‘171’ and ‘SPRING’ is coded as ‘83’. How will ‘CAPITAL’ be coded in that language?

  1. 93
  2. 124
  3. 186
  4. 62

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 3 : 186

Operations on Place Value Question 11 Detailed Solution

Download Solution PDF

Given: ‘ALPINE’ is coded as ‘171’ and ‘SPRING’ is coded as ‘83’. 

The logic follow here is: Addition of place value of given Letter × number of Vowel

 

Letters A L P I N E
Positional Values 1 12 16 9 14 5
Sum of Positional Values 1 + 12 + 16 + 9 + 14 + 5 = 57

Now, number of vowels = 3

= 57 × 3

= 171

And,

 

Letters S P R I N G
Positional Values 19 16 18 9 14 7
Sum of Positional Values 19 + 16 + 18 + 9 + 14 + 7 = 83

Now, number of vowels = 1

= 83 × 1

= 83

Similarly,

Letters C A P I T A L
Positional Values 3 1 16 9 20 1 12
Sum of Positional Values 3 + 1 + 16 + 9 + 20 + 1 + 12 = 62

 

Now, number of vowels = 3

= 62 × 3

= 186

Hence, 186 is the correct answer.

The positions of the letters according to the English alphabet series:

LOGIC: Positional Values of Reverse Positional Letters + Number of letters in the given word = Code.

The pattern for this is as follows;

In LIGHTS →

Reverse Positional Letters and positional Values are:

L ⇔ O = 15

I ⇔ R = 18

G ⇔ T = 20

H ⇔ S = 19

T ⇔ G= 7

S ⇔ H= 8

LIGHTS = (15 + 18 + 20 + 19 + 7 + 8) + 6 = 93

And;

In BATTER →

Reverse Positional Letters and positional Values are:

B ⇔ Y = 25

A ⇔ Z = 26

T ⇔ G = 7

T ⇔ G = 7

E ⇔ V = 22

R ⇔ I = 9

BATTER = (25 + 26 + 7 + 7 + 22 + 9) + 6 = 102

Similarly;

In BRING →

Reverse Positional Letters and positional Values are:

B ⇔ Y = 25

R ⇔ I = 9

I ⇔ R = 18

N ⇔ M = 13

G ⇔ T = 20

BRING = (25 + 9 + 18 + 13 + 20) + 5 = 90

Hence, the correct answer is "90".

Code for T is unknown and in options (3 and 4),1 and 2 code is not used for any letter so, here 1 is a new code that can be code for T because the last four-letter code is fixed - 5768 

Therefore, TREND = 15768

Hence, ‘15768’ is the correct answer.

NOTE: option 2) cannot be the answer as 3 is code for F and we need code for T, which is not given in question so code for T should be a new number.
