CODING

DECODING

The term coding-decoding

primarily related with massage
sent in secret form which cannot
be understood by other easily.
Coding, therefore, means rule or
method used to hide the actual
meaning of a word or group of
words and decoding means the
method of making out the actual
message that is disguised in a
particular method of coding.

ABOUT CODING-DECODING
Coding is a process of conversion of original word or
sentence or collection of character into some other form by
following certain logic or rule. The resultant is known as code.
TYPES OF CODING
DECODING
1. Substitution
Coding
2. Number Coding
3. Letter Coding

LETTER CODING:- In these questions code values

are given to a word in terms of letters. We have to
analyses the pattern of the example and follow that
pattern to find the answer.

been coded by using by 1 to 8 and the vowel have
been coded by using different symbols.

LETTER G B K H Z M F
R V C S D Q X
J N T L W Y P
Digit 5 4 1 3 2 8 7
If any vowel is not in the beginning or last, it is coded as 6. If
any vowel is at the beginning or in the last, it is coded as 9.
However, if the same vowel is placed at both beginning and
in the last, it is coded as .

Q.16-18. Read the information given below to answer
the question that follow:
In a certain code language,
(I) pit na sa means you are welcome.
(II) na ho pa la means they are very good.
(III) ka da la means who is good.
(IIII) od ho pit lameans they welcome good people.
Q.16. Which of following means people in that code
language?
(a) od (b) la (c) ho
(d) pit (e) Data inadequate
Q.17. Which of the following means very in that
code language?
(a) pa (b) na (c) da
(d) Data inadequate (e) None of these
Q.18. Which of the following statement(s) is/are
redundant to answer the above two question.
(a) none (b) (i) and (ii) (c) (ii) and (iii)
(d) (i) or (iv) (e) none of these

SOLUTION
ANSWER- 16.- (a) In statements I and IV, the common code
word is pit and the word is welcome. So, pit means
welcome.
ANSWER- 17.- (a) From I, we know that ho and la are
coded for they and good. Now, in statements I and II, the
common code word is na and common word is are. So,
na means are. Thus, in II, the code word pa means very.
ANSWER- 18.- (e) Clearly, to answer the above two
questions, we used statements I,II and IV, and didnt require
III. So, III is redundant.

Q.19-25. Study the following information to answer the
given question
I. ka bi pu ya means you are very intelligent.
II. ya lo ka wo means they seem very intelligent.
III. la pu le means you can say.
IV. sun pun yun ya means how intelligent she is.
In each of the following question, find which of the above
statements is/are required to find the exact code of the
given word. If the code cannot be ascertained even by using
all the given statements, then answer is (e) i.e. Data
inadequate.
Q.19. YOU
(a) I and II (b) II and III (c) I and III (d) none of these
Q. 20. HOW
(a) I and II (b) I and IV (c) I, II and IV (d) all are four
Q.21. ARE
(a) I,II and III (b)I,II and IV (c) I,III and IV (d) all are four
Q.22. VERY
(a) I,II and III (b)I,II and IV (c) I,III and IV (d) all are four
Q.23. THEY
(a) I and II (b) I,II and IV (c) II,III and IV (d) all are four
Q.24. INTELLIGENT
(a) I and II (b) I and IV (c) II and IV (d) Either (b) or (c)
Q.25. CAN
(a) I and III (b) I,II and III (c) III and IV (d) Either (a) or (c)
 SOLUTION
ANSWER- 19.- (c) Clearly, you is the only common word in
statements I and III. So, the code for you is the common
code word in I and III, which is pu.

ANSWER- 20.- (e) Statement IV has only one word

intelligent which is common in two or more of the given
statements. So, only the code for intelligent can be found;
while it is not possible to determine the exact code for
how, she and is. Thus, the given data are in adequate.

ANSWER- 21.- (a) Clearly, in I, to find the code for are, we

need to first determine the codes for you, very and
intelligent. Form I and III, the code for you is pu. From I
and II, the code for very and intelligent are ya and ka.
So, in I, the remaining code word i.e. bi stand for are.
Thus, the statements I,II and III are required.

ANSWER- 22.- (d) Clearly, there are no two statements in

which very is the only common word. So, the code for
very can be determined by finding the codes of the other
three words in I. from above after getting the codes for you
, are and intelligent, the remaining code word in I stands
for very.
ANSWER- 23.- (d) Statement II has two uncommon words
they and seem. So, it is not possible to determine the
exact code for any of these words. Hence, answer is (e).

ANSWER- 24.- (d) As discussed in 4, we need ( I and IV )or

(II and IV) to determine the code for intelligent.

ANSWER- 25.- (e) Statement III has two uncommon words

can and see. So, it is not possible to determine the exact
code for any of these words. Hence, answer is (e).

Q.26. In a certain code language, col tip mot means singing is
appreciable, mot baj min means dancing is good and tip non
baj means singing and dancing, Which of the following means
good in that code language.
(a) not (b) min (c) baj
(d) cannot be determined (e) None of these

SOLUTION
ANSWER- (b)
In the first and second statements, the common code word
is mot and common word is is. So mot means is. In the
second and third statements, the common code word is
baj and common word is dancing. So baj means
dancing. Thus, in the second statement, min means
good.

code language means mangoes?
(a) may (b) pe (c) nue (d) mink (e) None of these

SOLUTION
ANSWER- (c)
In the second and third statements, the common code word
are pe, mink, and may and the common word are are
not and ripe. So, in the third statement, nue means
mangoes.

Q.28. In a certain code language, tom kun sud means dogs
are barking, kun jo mop means dogs and horses and mut tom
ko means donkey are mad. Which word in that code language
means barking.
(a) sud b) kun (c) jo (d) tom (e) ko

SOLUTION

ANSWER- (a)
In the first and second statements, the common code word
is kun and common word is dogs. So kun means dogs.
In the first and second statements, the common code word
is tom and common word is are. So tom means are.
Thus, in the first statement, sud means barking.
 EXAMPLE
S

fit kon dan means house is good and warm tir fit means cost
is high. Which word stand for good in that language?
(a) mok (b) dan (c) fit (d) kon (e) None of these

SOLUTION

ANSWER- (d)
In the first and second statements, the common code word is dan
and the common word is house so dan means house. In the
second and third statements, the common code word is fit and
common word is is so fit means is. Thus, in the second
statement, kon stands for good.

EXAMPLE
S
Q.30. If ski rps tri means nine Sunday morning, teh sti rps
stand for every Thursday morning and ski ptr qlm stand for nice
marketing place, Which word stand for Sunday?
(a) ski (b) rps (c) tri (d) qlm (e) none of these
 SOLUTION

ANSWER- (c)
In the first and second statements, the common code word
is rps and the common word is morning. So rps stand for
morning. In the first and second statements, the common
code word is ski and common word is nice so ski stand
for nice. thus, in the first statement, tri stands for
Sunday.
