How to Solve Coding - Decoding? Concept & Tips


Dear Readers,
We are providing you Important Concept & Short Tricks on Coding Decoding Questions in Reasoning which are usually asked in Bank Exams. Use these
below given short cuts to solve questions within minimum time. These shortcuts &
Concept will be very helpful for your upcoming All Bank Exam 2016.
To make the chapter easy for you all, we are providing you all some Important Concept
& Short Tricks on Coding - Decoding? which will surely make the chapter easy for you
all.
About the Coding and Decoding:-

Coding is a method of transmitting a message between the sender and the


receiver without a third person knowing it. Before transmitting, the data is encoded and at
receiver side encode data is decoded in order to obtain original data by determining
common key in encoded data.
Coding and Decoding forms a dedicated part of the Reasoning Section in various
competitive exams but the level of questions differs in them. For example in SSC, the level
of questions in easy to medium while in IBPS exams, the level of questions is difficult. In
IBPS, coding and decoding questions comes under Machine Coding and Decoding
Topic.
What is the approach to solve the questions of this section?
Observe alphabets or numbers given in the code keenly.
Find the sequence it follows whether it is ascending or descending.

Detect the rule in which the alphabets/numbers/words follow.

Fill the appropriate letter/number/word in the blank given.

Some Basics which we need to learn before solving the questions of this topic are:
Letter position (A=1, B=2, C=3, D=4 Y=25, Z=26)
Opposite position of letters (A=26, B=25 Z=1)

Opposite of each letter (A is opposite to Z and B is opposite to Y and C is opposite


to X and so on)

Various types on which Coding and Decoding are classified are (as per Bank Exams):
Letter Coding
Substitution

Mixed Letter Coding

Mixed Number Coding

Let us analyse them in detail


LETTER CODING:
In this type the real alphabets in a word are replaced by certain other alphabets according
to a specific rule to form its code. The candidate is required to detect the common rule and
answer the questions accordingly.
For Example:
In a certain code, CODING is written as DPEJOH. How will DECODING be written in
that code?
Explanation:
Compare 1st letter of CODING with 1st letter of DPEJOH.
C is converted to D.
You know Cs next letter in alphabets is D.
Os next letter is P.
Ds next letter is E.

Is next letter is J.
Ns next letter is O.
Gs next letter is H.
This was how CODING was converted to DPEJOH. Now in the same way you have to
convert DECODING.
So D is converted to E.
E-F, C-D, O-P, D-E, I-J, N-O, G-H
So DECODING should be converted to EFDPEJOH.
SUBSTITUTION:
In this section an object names are substituted with different object names. We should
carefully trace the substitution and answer given question.
For Example:
If white is called blue, blue is called red, red is called yellow, yellow is called
green, green is called black, black is called violet and violet is called orange, what
would be the colour of human blood?
1. Red
2. Green
3. Yellow
4. Violet
5. Orange
Ans: C
Explanation:
The colour of the human blood is red, and as it is given that red is called yellow. So,
the colour of human blood is yellow.
MIXED LETTER CODING:
In Mixed letter coding type of questions, three or four complete messages are given in
the coded language and the code for a particular word is asked. To analyse such codes,
any two messages bearing a common word are picked up. The common code word will
mean that word. Proceeding smilarly by picking up all possible combinations of two, the
entire message can be analysed.
For Example:
In a certain code language,
1. pod na joc means very bright boy';
2. tam nu pod means the boy comes';
3. nu per ton means keep the doll';
4. joc ton su means very good doll.
Which of the following means bright in the same code language?
1. joc 2. pod 3. ton 4. na 5.None of these
Ans: D
Explanation:
In statements (a) and (b), the common code word is pod and the common word is boy.

So, pod stands for boy.


In statements (a) and (d), the common code word is joc and the common word is very.
So, joc stands for very.
So, in (a) na stands for bright.
MIXED NUMBER CODING:
In this type of questions, a few groups of numbers each coding a certain short message, are
given. Through a comparison of the given coded messages, taking two at a time, the
candidate is required to find the number code for each word and then formulate the code for
the message given.
For Example:
In a certain code,
786 means study very hard,
958 means hard work pays
645 means study and work.
Which of the following is the code for very?
1. 7 2. 5 3. 8 4.6 5. Either 6 or 7
Ans: 1
Explanation:
In the first and second statements, the common word is hard and the common code
digit is 8. So, 8 means hard.
In the first and third statements, the common word is study and the common code digit
is 6. So, 6 means study.
Thus, in the first statement 7 means very.
