Coding-Decoding WHAT IS CODING? Coding is a method of expressing something in a secret way. WHAT IS DECODING? Decoding is a process to understand a code language. TYPES OF CODING 1, Letter Coding : Letters are used in forward or backward or both the directions for making some code language. 2. Direct Letter Coding : Letters of a word are directly replaced by other letters. 3. Number/Symbol Coding : Numerals or symbols are assigned to words. 4, Substitution Coding : Some particular words are assigned to certain names. If OJAMYTIR is the code for MAJORITY, which word is coded as SERPEVRE? (A) PERSEVER (B) PRESERVE (C) PERSERVE (D) PRESEVER Explanation (B) : Clearly, the code has been obtained by writing the first four and the last four letters of the word in the reverse order. Thus, we have : SERPEVRE => SERP/EVRE => PRES/ERVE => PRESERVE Hence, the correct option is (B). 1, If HEALTH is written as GSKZDG, then how will NORTH be written in that code? (A) OPSUL (B) FRPML.

(C): First, the letters of HEALTH are written — in a reverse order and then each letter is moved one step backward to obtain the code. 4 2. (A): B,E, A, T are respectively the 24, 5th, | 1+, 20" letters from the beginning of the ‘one step forward to obtain the first letter of the code, while the other letters remain unaltered. (D): The first, third and fifth letters of the word are each moved one step backward, the second, fourth and sixth letters are English alphabet. The letters Y, V, Z, G of | the code are respectively the 2", 5th,y3t and 20" letters from the end of the English alphabet. Use the same rule to find the | code for MILD. 3. (B): The first letter of the word is moved moved one, two and three steps forward respectively to obtain the code. 5. (A): The first, second, third and fourth letters of the word are moved two, four, sik and eight letters forward respectively to obtain the code. 6. (A): Each letter of the word is two stepsRRR nen behind the corresponding letter of the code. 7. (A): Each letter of the word is three steps behind the corresponding letter of the code. 8, (C): The word is divided into groups of two letters each and the letters in each pair are reversed to get the code.
