Coding Decoding

CODING DECODING
The coding – decoding test is used to judge the candidate’s capability to decipher the rule which is
applied for coding a particular message.
Some important tips to solve coding – decoding questions are:
 Letter positions as per English Alphabet Series: (A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, D = 4……. Y = 25, Z =
26). To learn this, remember a shortcut for the position of letters i.e. EJOTY where E = 5, J
= 10, O = 15, T = 20 & Y = 25)
 Letter positions as per reverse English Alphabet Series (A=26, B=25, C=24 …., Z=1)
 Corresponding letter of each letter i.e., the pair of letters at the same distance from start
and end of the English Alphabet Series (A is opposite to Z; B is opposite to Y, and C is
opposite to X and so on) .
 The coding can also be based on shifting the positions of the individual letters based on
their place in the English Alphabet. You have to identify a common pattern and apply the
same pattern to the word in the question to find its code or apply the reverse pattern to the
given code to find the original word. For example:-
Ques. : In a certain code ‘MONARCHY’ is written as ‘NPOBSDIZ’. How will ‘STANDARD’
be written in that code?
Ans. : In this question, each letter of ‘MONARCHY’ is simply replaced by its next letter
as per English Alphabet.
M+1 = N
O+1 = P
N+1 = O
A+1 = B
R+1 = S
C+1 = D
H+1 = I
Y+1 = Z
Based on a similar pattern, code for ‘STANDARD’ is ‘TUBOEBSE’.
 The coding can also be done by just jumbling of letters with no substitution by any other
letter. The jumbling can be done directly or by dividing the given word in multiple parts and
jumbling each part separately. For example:-
Ques. In a certain code ‘COUNTERS’ is written as ‘SRETNUOC’. Then find out how
‘CLEARING’ is written in that code language?
Ans. GNIRAELC

 In these questions, the letters of one or more words are coded in terms of
symbols/digits/other letters. You have to identify the code of the individual letter by
comparing and based on this, find out the code for given word. For example:-
Ques. In a certain code ‘CAMPHOR’ is written as ‘6$3#152’ and ‘SAKE’ is written as
‘@$98’. How is ‘MORSE’ written in that code language?
Ans. 352@8

The above given tips are used to solve only a few questions of coding – decoding. This
topic consists of a variety of questions comprising numbers, symbols and English
alphabets. The candidate should go through the question very carefully and derive the
code.
Note: It is advisable for the candidate that he should read the questions related to this topic one
or two times and if he is unable to derive the code, he should move to the next question
rather wasting his time on one particular question.
