CODING DECODING


1)        If C E J Q is coded as X V Q J , then B D I P  will be coded as ………..

 Sol: The first 13 letters of the alphabet are coded by the 13 letters of the alphabet in      
         reverse, i.e.
         = A B C D E F G H I J K L M (first 13 letters)
         =Z Y X W V U T S S R Q P O N(13 in reverse)
         It is obvious from the above coding scheme that: B=Y,D=W and K=P….
         Therefore BDIP will be coded as YWRK

2)Which code should be replaced in the question mark?  MILD:NKOH :: GATE : ?

Sol: Here, letters are coded by skipping letters in alphabetical order, I.e.., M=N (no   
       skipping)
       I = (j) K (letters in the bracket are one’s skipped)
       L = (mn) O
       D = (efg) H
       The skipping pattern is –1, -2 and –3
       Therefore , G A T E will be coded as H C W I

3)If SPTFA stand for BLADE, how will you code BALE?

Sol: BLADE has been coded as SPTFA. You will see that all letters in the word BALE,     
       which have to be coded are also there in the word BLADE. Hence all that need to be   
       done is to choose the relevant code letters from the code word SPTFA. Thus B  
       becomes S, A becomes T, L becomes P, and E becomes A. Therefore BALE will be    
       coded as STPA.

4. If MAILED  is coded as NBJMFE, how will you code the word ACTED?

Sol : Here each letter stands for the next letter in the sequence. Therefore ACTED  
        becomes BDUFE.

5. If TSEREVE and NOITACUDE stands for EVEREST and EDUCATION, how will you code REDFORT?

Sol: We can observe that the code is the reverse of the given word. The answer is
       obviously TROFDER which is the reverse of REDFORT.

6. If LODES is coded as 46321, how will you code the word DOES?

Sol : Here you will observe that all the letters of DOES are included in the letters of
        LODES , for which you have the code D = 3, O = 6, E = 2, S=1.
        Therefore, DOES = 3621.
